What does Purple Kinam (Pure Parfum) smell like?

Its notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one piece: rose, Turkish rose and May rose give a floral frame, while Burmese, Chinese and Malayan oud, patchouli and vetiver add a woody, earthy weight. Raspberry and strawberry bring a fruity sweetness, and blue lotus and mimosa soften the florals; the spicy, smoky and leathery accords make it darker rather than fresh.

Most voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good. They lean towards autumn and winter, with spring also well represented and summer a minority. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it wears comfortably either way. Purple Kinam (2025) and Ensar Oud Hajar Aswad have a close profile.
