Perfume.Sucks Purple is a unisex scent that opens with Swiss stone pine, ambrette seed and iris, deepens with myrrh and frankincense, and balances a fresh, floral side against a sweet, powdery woodiness.

What does Purple smell like?

Longevity and sillage both come across as moderate. Most voters are split between spring, fall and summer, with few choosing winter. It leans towards leisure, office and daily wear, and it doesn't pull clearly towards masculine or feminine.

Stone pine and iris give a cool, lightly powdery start, softened by ambrette seed. In the heart, myrrh, frankincense and cashmere add a smoky, spicy warmth. Amber and musk sweeten the base and settle the scent into something softer, while fruity and synthetic touches stay in the background.
