What does Pure smell like?

Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, and daily and leisure wear come out ahead of business and sport. It reads as a masculine scent. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings.

It opens with grapefruit, pink pepper and ozone, a bright, airy start with a slight bite. In the heart, cashmeran, Provençal lavender and clary sage soften that freshness. The base of patchouli, amber and vetiver leaves the scent calm and earthy rather than heavy. Sober Panama and Dior Sauvage (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
