What does Purple Fantasy smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring, summer and fall, with winter the least chosen. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, though it also works for daytime and the office. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine.
The top is sweet and bright, with orange, bergamot and coconut, and green tea keeps it light. In the heart, jasmine adds a soft floral note and apricot a fruity one. Sandalwood and cedar settle it onto a woody, slightly powdery base. Dior Pure Poison and Bvlgari Bvlgari pour Femme (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
