CreamyWhat does Pura Lux smell like?
It opens with black pepper and amber for a spicy start, then jasmine, cedarwood and sandalwood build a floral and woody heart. The base of ambroxan, patchouli and musk settles into a soft, creamy finish. Alongside the fresh accord there is a sweet, slightly synthetic edge.
Business, daily wear and leisure are the settings voters pick most, though evenings and nights out also get votes. Being unisex, it doesn't lean toward either men or women. Swiss Arabian Passion of Venice and Initio Rehab have a close profile.
