What does Purple Accento smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, with fall close behind, and it is chosen mostly for nights out, leisure time and evenings. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, as the two draw almost equal votes.

It opens with hyacinth, pineapple, bergamot and mandarin orange, fresh and fruity. The heart of jasmine, loganberry, pink pepper and orris root brings a floral, powdery softness with a little spice. It dries down to musk, sandalwood, amber, oud and vanilla, sweet, woody and creamy. Xerjoff Accento and Sospiro Accento Viola have a close profile.
