BORNTOSTANDOUT Purple Stain is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Jordi Fernández. Purple Stain opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Cedar, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Vanilla, Peru Balsam, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Ambrofix, Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and Oud. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Purple Stain carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This is a bold, divisive scent - you'll either love Purple Stain's distinctive 'grape' character and incredible performance or recoil from its intensity. Not for the faint of heart or nose, it's a statement piece that's garnered a cult following.

About

Purple Stain unleashes a potent, wine-dark opening, thick with saffron and spiced mandarin, akin to boozy grape candy. This morphs into a rich, caramel-drizzled heart infused with orange blossom. The dry-down settles into an enveloping base of deep oud, balsamic notes, and patchouli, creating a lasting, mysterious aura that hints at old leather and sweet incense.
