What does Purple Flowers smell like?

The top opens bright with fig tree and mandarin orange, while black pepper, nutmeg and ginger add a spicy edge. In the heart, rose absolute meets patchouli and cedarwood, and the base of white musk, vanilla and ambergris turns it sweeter and smoother. The overall impression is fresh, floral and lightly oriental.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer trailing behind. It leans towards leisure, night out and evening wear. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine.
