What does Hugo Pure Purple smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer a smaller share. Daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings, while evening and night out sit further back. Most voters read it as feminine.

Nectarine and white cyclamen give a fresh, fruity start, and black violet adds a floral, powdery heart. The base of amber, leather and marzipan sweetens it and pulls it toward a gourmand, slightly leathery finish, with a synthetic sheen running through.
