What does Pure Sun (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top holds magnolia, Geraea canescens and orchid, while neroli, lotus and apple blossom carry the floral heart. Hinoki wood, sandalwood and benzoin in the base soften it into a creamy, powdery sweetness. The overall impression is fresh, fruity and sweet, with a synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters choose it most often for leisure and daily wear, with night out and business taking the remaining votes. Montblanc Signature (Eau de Parfum) and Jennifer Lopez Glow have a close profile.
