ResinousWhat does Pure XS Night smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, with evening and night out well ahead of business or daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, and a good share as modern.
The scent as a whole is sweet and creamy: salted caramel and vanilla run through cocoa for a dense gourmand feel. Cinnamon and ginger carry the spice, while myrrh adds a resinous, faintly woody depth.
