What does Pure XS smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind; summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards nights out and evenings, and leisure wear is common too. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters call it masculine and modern.

Cinnamon, ginger and thyme give it a spicy frame, while vanilla, sugar and liqueur sweeten it into a soft gourmand mood. Leather, musk and myrrh lay a warm, woody base underneath. Fresh and fruity accords lighten the weight, and there is a synthetic sheen to it. Hugo Boss The Scent Intense for Him and Halloween Man have a close profile.
