What does Purple Luban smell like?

Violet, heliotrope and lavender give it a soft, powdery floral side, while blackcurrant and black mission fig add a fruity touch. Omani frankincense, sandalwood and oud bring resinous, creamy and spicy depth, and ambergris smooths the blend together.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a small number of voters have weighed in. It reads oriental, suited to men and women alike. Elkhaldi Violette Iriani and Byredo Sister Dreamer have a close profile.
