What does Pura smell like?

It opens bright, with bergamot, orange, rose otto and Moroccan rose giving a citrusy floral lift. In the heart, jasmine, iris and violet leaf move it towards a powdery, creamy feel. It dries down on a woody base of musk and sandalwood, softened and sweetened by caramel and patchouli.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and name leisure, daily wear and business as the usual settings. Around half of voters read it as feminine, yet it works as a unisex scent.
