What does Pure 22 smell like?
At the start, mandarin orange and cardamom lead, while black pepper adds a spicy edge. In the heart, cypriol, Provençal lavender and marine notes give it an aquatic feel. The base of cistus, cedarwood and patchouli settles into a woody ground, and fruity and sweet tones soften the fresh character.
Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though few votes back this up. Voters pick it most for leisure, daily wear and business. It is a fragrance made for men. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Cologne Bleue and Mexx Black Man (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
