What does Purple Ink smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure, night out and evening wear, and while more voters read it as masculine, a fair share call it feminine.

Bergamot, mandarin orange and sage open it bright and green. In the heart, rose and saffron carry the floral and spicy side, while oud, suede and blackberry add a smoky, leathery and fruity depth. Patchouli, vanilla, musk and labdanum sweeten the dry-down into a powdery warmth.
