What does Purple Rain smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Daytime, office and leisure wear lead, while evening and night out are chosen less often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine.

Neroli opens with a bright, fresh floral touch. In the heart, iris and orange blossom build a powdery, creamy softness, with green and lightly spicy tones balancing the sweetness. Vetiver leaves a woody, earthy base underneath. Prada Un Chant d'Amour and Racyne Verdeur have a close profile.
