LeatheryWhat does Man Pure (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens fresh and herbal with oregano, lemon, clary sage and basil. In the heart, geranium, carnation, patchouli and cinnamon add a spicy floral touch. The base of cedarwood, labdanum, castoreum, nutmeg and oakmoss settles into an earthy, leathery, slightly animal chypre.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. It leans slightly towards evenings and nights out, yet also gets votes for daytime and office wear. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.
