What does The Purple Bar smell like?

Candied fruits, orange and vanilla build a sweet frame, while cinnamon and clove add a warm, spicy tone. Almond and benzoin pull the scent toward something soft and powdery, and patchouli and labdanum give it an earthy, resinous depth. The oriental character runs through the whole scent.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. With its sweet, spicy build, it suits anyone, man or woman, who wants a rich, full scent. Wolkenseifen Mystique and Parfums de Marly Oajan have a close profile.
