Criminal Lipstick

“Simone Andreoli Criminal Lipstick Review”

Criminal Lipstick is built around a contrast that many fragrance lovers either enjoy or reject quickly. On paper, it combines juicy fruit, cosmetic powder, woods, musk, amber, and oud. In wear, that usually points to something more styled than casual, less airy than a typical fruity floral, and more polished than playful. The name suggests drama, and the structure supports that idea.

The fruit side looks rich rather than sparkling. Pear, fig, and grapes imply a plush opening with sweetness and texture instead of a crisp, watery freshness. That matters, because the strongest accord pattern here is fruity, but it sits alongside a very high powdery accord and a strong woody-oud frame. So even if the opening has a juicy pull, the scent profile does not read like a bright summer fruit cocktail. It looks denser, smoother, and more made-up.

Iris is likely one of the key materials shaping the identity of Criminal Lipstick. Combined with the powdery profile, it suggests that classic lipstick effect many people describe as cosmetic, velvety, and softly nostalgic. Lily of the valley and jasmine may keep the floral heart from feeling too flat, but the main story is not a fresh floral bouquet. It is more likely an iris-powder impression wrapped around fruit and woods, with enough sweetness from vanilla and black amber to keep the composition rounded.

The oud angle is worth noting because it changes the mood. This does not look like a medicinal or aggressively smoky oud fragrance, at least not from the note list and accord balance. Instead, oud seems to give depth, shadow, and a slightly more serious edge to the fruit and powder. The animalic facet in the accord structure also hints that the scent may develop a warmer, more skin-like character over time. That could make it feel sensual and intriguing to some wearers, while others may find it less easygoing than the name and fruit notes first suggest.

Performance looks solid rather than extreme. The available votes lean from moderate to long lasting, with projection more often described as strong than soft. That supports the idea of Criminal Lipstick as an evening fragrance, or at least a scent that prefers cooler air and a bit of space around it. Fall appears to be the most natural season, with winter close behind. Summer seems like the least suitable setting, which makes sense for a fragrance carrying sweetness, powder, oud, and amber together.

As a buy, Criminal Lipstick seems aimed at someone who enjoys statement textures more than universal crowd-pleasing freshness. If you want something crisp, transparent, and office-safe in all climates, this may feel too styled and too present. If you like lipsticky iris, plush fruit, and woody depth with a sensual undertone, it could be an interesting modern option. The mixed value votes and moderate overall rating make sampling the smart move, especially if powdery oud-fruity blends can go either way on your skin.
