Pure for Men (2004) (Eau de Toilette)

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin without leaving a heavy trail. It is mostly worn on ordinary days, at leisure and at the office, and less for sport or evenings out. Nearly half of voters call it masculine, and many also find it modern.

It opens with fir resin, juniper berry and mandarin orange, with citrus and green accords keeping it bright. The heart of white musk and water bamboo adds a clean, aquatic, lightly floral touch. In the base, mahogany wood, sandalwood and vanilla give it a woody, slightly sweet footing. Jil Sander Pure Man and Montblanc Starwalker have a close profile.
