What does Purple Haze smell like?

It opens with silver fir, hyacinth, rosewood and Sichuan pepper, and its heart holds cassia blossom, blue lotus, jasmine, raspberry and Indian damask rose. The floral and fruity side softens into sweetness, while vetiver, several oud materials and vanilla absolute build a leathery, oriental depth underneath.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good, with all longevity voters rating it high. Dense and warm, it reads as a serious, evening-leaning scent that sits comfortably on men and women alike.
