What does Puritas smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring a distant second and summer rarely chosen. It is rated for evenings, nights out and leisure time. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and while most voters read it as masculine, a fair number find it feminine.

It opens with elemi resin, pink pepper, absinth and frankincense. In the heart, rose, saffron, Egyptian jasmine and tuberose build a floral layer. The base of vetiver, patchouli, labdanum and amber adds a woody, oriental warmth. Amouage Epic 56 Woman and Penhaligon's As Sawira have a close profile.
