What does Pure smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, business and leisure wear lead the occasions. Most describe its character as feminine.

Citrus and aquatic accents give it a clean, airy feel, while the floral side is built on jasmine and cyclamen. Amber and sandalwood ground it in a woody, lightly spicy base, and white musk adds a soft, powdery finish.
