A few weeks ago I received my second complimentary VoxBox from Influenster. It was a total surprise, as I didn’t even get an e-mail heads up from them. After opening the package, I was pleasantly surprised to find two Kat Von D Fragrances: Saint and Sinner! Needless to say, I was pretty psyched. I’m already a fan of Kat Von D. And I’m well aware of the Sinner fragrance, as it’s been one of my favorites. I found this perfume at Sephora a few years ago and fell in love with it. After a few years of using it I found out it was no longer available at Sephora much to my dismay. I couldn’t believe when I saw it in my VoxBox! I had no idea it was back on the market. So without further ado here’s my fragrance review of both scents.
Which Fragrance Saint or Sinner Is Right For You?
Sinner Fragrance Review
I was already familiar with Sinner because I have bought it in the past. The reason why I picked this particular scent was because it was bold, musty and very fragrant. It also has heavy patchouli overtones and is well balanced with sweet elements of vanilla, plum, and a bit of cinnamon. I knew something familiar attracted me to this scent. And that is cinnamon, a spice I use everyday in my morning bowl of cereal or yogurt. Vanilla is also one of my favorites therefore I’m always attracted to fragrances that contain it.
What I love about this perfume is the fact that it’s bold but not too overpowering. Even though it’s muskier it’s not muscular. It’s still a very feminine scent without being too flowery or fruity like other scents out there. I definitely gravitate towards bolder scents such as these as they evoke more mystery and danger. What can I say I like to live on the edge a little bit. This perfume is complemented well by it’s dark, mysterious and bold black packaging. After all, like the name says it’s for the sinners out there!!! I love it! Bring it on!
Saint Fragrance Review
This was my first time trying out Saint and I feel that it’s a sweeter and softer of the two scents. I detected a fruity component to this fragrance and I was right. In addition to having cinnamon it also contains caramel and orange. Voila, this is exactly why I like this fragrance as well. Its fruity scent is not overpowering but beautifully complemented by the slight addition of the cinnamon. This fragrance is not just for the good girls out there but for those more dangerous ladies who are also sweet at heart.
That’s why I actually enjoy this fragrance as well. It’s perfect for that family outing where you’re hanging out with your loved ones or for that first date where you want to make a good first impression. Don’t get me wrong, you can also wear Sinner but Scent gives you that sweeter touch. This perfume comes perfectly complemented by the white packaging in contrast to Sinner’s black counterpart.
Saint and Sinner Packaging Review
I was immediately impressed by the lovely bottles these fragrances arrived in. The gorgeously sculpted bottles are a sight of their own. I absolutely adore them. And since this was a complimentary product from Influenster the bottles were minis and that made them even more irresistible. I mean look at the pictures and judge for yourself. I don’t even want to throw these bottles away when the perfume runs out. They’re just too cute not to keep. Kat Von D took to designing these bottles herself and I’m not at all surprised at that. She’s an awesome tattoo artist and therefore she likes to put her own esthetic into everything she does. Apparently she designed these bottles to resemble a human heart. I don’t know about you but I find that both beautiful and poetic.

Oh how intresting. I didnt even know kat von d was doing perfumes
Oh yes, she has a make-up line too. Thanks for checking out the article 🙂
I didn’t know Kat Von D was doing perfumes! Great!
Oh yes she is. And as you can see they’re great. Thanks for checking out the post.
I love Kat Von D’s make up! Will definitely have to try her perfume out! X
Hi Kerri, I haven’t tried her make-up but I’ve heard good things about it. Hope you check out her perfumes.
Thank you for reviewing them! I wondered what they were like and haven’t had a chance to even test them. I would say I would like Saint more since I gravitate towards feminine tones but I do like to change my fragrance when I go for a night out. Now I’m excited to try them both!
Oh it was definitely my pleasure. I hope you do get to try these fragrances!
Cool! I had never heard of these
Hope you check these perfumes out. Thanks for stopping by.
I like that you have dressed and clicked as per the perfume packaging color. This is minor details but you ensured to keep it in place. Good review, would like to try them both.
Oh thank you Abhinav. It was fun dressing up as the ‘saint’ and ‘sinner’ lol!!! Any excuse to have a fashion show!!!
Nice post..Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kavita. Glad you liked the article.
What an interesting duo and the bottles are so cute. I love cinnamon and vanilla – though I haven’t smelled either, Sinner sounds like something that would attract me.
They’re the cutest bottles. And good to see we have a similar taste in scents. I think you would love Sinner as much as I do!
What a great and detailed review. I may well check these out for my lady, although probably best get her to sign off on them first!
Thanks Matt. Yes, take your lady out shopping and get her to try both. Perfume is so personal so she needs to really like it to wear it 🙂
the packaging is cool 🙂
It’s unique, isn’t it? I like it too.
I’ve never heard of those. I stick usually to one fragrance and use it for years.
Oh I agree. I usually do that too. And I’ve been using Sinner for a few years until it was discontinued then I switched to another. Now I’ve got Sinner and Saint!!!
I think I’d be into the saint fragrance. I like citrus aromas and it sounds fresh. I agree, the packaging is very beautiful and it makes buying a perfume that much more of a fabulous experience!
Oh that’s awesome Lisa. Yes, I agree the packaging definitely works great with these.
Oh my goodness these bottles are gorgeous! I wasn’t aware she was doing perfumes so this is great! Thanks for a great post
Thanks Tahnee for your kind words. I hope you check them out.
I just got this perfume in my Play package and they smell so good and I love the packaging.
Oh that’s wicked. Aren’t they the best. I love the scents and the packaging is so amazing. I’m definitely keeping these bottles.
What a great review with pictures! I will be sure to check them out. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked the review. The pictures were lots of fun to take :). What girl doesn’t love playing dress up once in a while 🙂
I’m definitely more the sinner. The bold black packaging is awesome and I love vanilla
Ha ha ha. I’m glad to hear you also love vanilla. It’s so yummy smelling.
I’m definitely more drawn to fruity scents. I bought my Anna Sui perfume in Tokyo airport and now I haven’t been able to find it anywhere in my city 🙁 I might have to switch smells, but I feel very attached to this one!
Oh I know what you mean when you’re favorite perfume is nowhere to be found. That’s how I felt about Sinner when it got discontinued. I hope you find a good replacement.
I’ve been both saint and sinner in my life! Most of it sinner though because it’s more fun! LOL! The black one for me please… 😛
Oh absolutely Niki. I totally agree. It’s more fun to be a bit of a sinner!!!
I would like to try these perfumes, I love Kat von d makeup line !
Nice. I want to try her makeup line too!!!
