What does Pure smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Daily wear, work and leisure are favoured equally, and most votes read it as feminine.

It opens with tangerine alongside woods and orchid, then lily and peony bring a soft floral heart that amber sweetens. The base of musk, sandalwood and a touch of cinnamon spice settles into a creamy, powdery finish. Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc and Fragonard Soleil have a close profile.
