What does Pur Blanca (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening is led by ylang-ylang and white freesia, with water mint adding a cool edge. In the heart, rose, peony and water lily carry an aquatic lightness. The base of musk, heliotrope and sandalwood settles into a powdery, creamy softness, with a synthetic accord staying in the background.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and it is picked mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads feminine and modern, and voters rate its value for money highly.
