What does Purple Reign smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so the scent stays fairly close to the skin without filling the room. Most voters pick it for leisure, daily wear and the office, with evening and night out further behind. It reads unisex, leaning neither masculine nor feminine.

The scent works as a single floral whole: jasmine, osmanthus, lilac and violet give a green, creamy garden impression. Orris root adds a powdery softness and lavender keeps it fresh. Opoponax brings a faint resinous, sweet warmth that rounds off the flowers.
