Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pure Game opens with a lively, spicy burst of grapefruit and mandarin, quickly spiced up with a kick of basil and pepper. This energetic start then eases into a more refined heart of fresh lavender and the woody depth of guaiac and cypress. The base anchors the fragrance with an intriguing blend of earthy patchouli, warm tonka bean, and a hint of spiritual incense, leaving a clean yet grounding trail.
