Did they ever do a cologne??? I thought there was gonna be something for the dudes. Imagine the tang I'd get if I smelled like Prince hmmm


I think it smells unisex. I know a couple of men that wear it. But also, an important thing to remember is that colognes and perfumes work with body chemistry. What smells good on one person might not smell so hot on another.

My girlfriend bought some at the O2. It is very overpowering and as alot have said is probably suited more to the older lady. It does smell more like something my mother would wear rather than someone in their twenties. So it has been filed under "collectibles/mememorabilia" rather than perfume to wear on a saturday night out.

I happen to like it - its a little heavier and sweeter than my normal channel 19 - but i do like. A few people have also commented on it and how it smells good. 'its because it is made with Prince's tears' i say - as they hurridly run away looking a little afraid eek

Does anyone else find themselves singing - dontcha wanna come 3121.... - when they apply it - It has become a bit of a ritual in my house now hehe lol

I was totally prepared to hate 3121 -- and had no intention of buying it. (I'd heard the Get Wild horror stories.)

But I went to Macy's around the first of July and they had a tester, so I gave it a "test spritz." Imagine my chagrin to find that it actually smelled good. I've worn it almost exclusively since then -- and gotten a ton of compliments on it.

Say it ain't so. I wanted to get it, but it doesn't sound like it gonna suit me.


I'm not good at describing smells, it's heavy, and sort of violetty. A bit of 'masculine' smell mixed with joss stick, daisies and parma violets? It made me think of the first wealthy woman shown in Under a Cherry Moon.

Goodness, that's so unhelpful of me!

No actually that is quite a good description - makes me feel old now for liking it even though i am in my 30s - but to my defence it is heavier than my normal scent - it must be the 'prince tears' - like phoenix tears they are magical

Order away.....


But...when you click on "Order" at the bottom of the merchandise menu it says that international shipping is suspended...so I figure this means they are not shipping anywhere outside of the states.


No, it 's not available outside the US at this time.

I don't think scents are inherently "young" or "old." It's all a matter of personal preference -- and what you're used to wearing.

I mean...I wore Rive Gauche and Opium as a teenager. Both of those scents could be described as "old" -- ie, deeper and more sophisticated. Meanwhile, my high school classmates were wearing Charlie and Jontue ("Sensual...but not to far from innocence.")

Just wear what you like. shrug

lol That sounds like something that I would do. I'm constantly singing Prince songs, it seems.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

I received my 3121 gift set today. Ordered it last Thursday , arrived Wednesday.
I think it's unusual and unique. Since I've travelled in the past, I have alot of perfumes I've purchased through duty-free at airports, including scents not available in the States.
I'm glad I was able to get this. I love it.
My usual perfumes are: Chanel #5, "La Nuit" Paco Rabanne, "Je Reviens" Worth.

If you want some then I'm happy to send a (barely used) bottle. I tried to like it, I really did, but it's made for a sophisticated 50-something white woman in a 1920's ivory suit, not a slightly odd late 20's mixed race woman in black!



That's odd , someone told me that it smelled good.

This water definetely hurts my nose, it is neither for men nor women.
It's a Product which doesn't reach Prince's heals, I mean waouh.
I had such difficulty to get it, paid extra and extra amounts to retrieve from UPS; when eventually I had it, i was like dead
Anyway I won't use it neva, Prince didn't check the Smell, am quite sure about that, otherwise it would have smelt differently. When U smell a Dior Hypnotic, Paco Rabanne XS Black, Versace, or Boucheron Jaipur for men or women, then those smell like Prince.I guess.. lol

I was in Macy's 2-nite & I asked if they had 3121 Perfume (for the fun of it). The woman said "oh the Prince perfume ... that's up front" and I was so happy because I thought Prince's perfume was doing well. Then when I went to find it there was none - no display -nothing. It was a one-hit wonder.
