Composition

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its robust sillage and longevity also make it less ideal for subdued environments like the workplace.

About

Pure Man opens with a zesty burst of mandarin, grapefruit, and bergamot, spiced up with a hint of anise and cardamom. This vibrant citrus freshness soon gives way to a balanced heart of clean cedar and cyclamen, softened by a touch of jasmine. The base settles into a warm, creamy blend of sandalwood, musk, and amber, grounded by earthy vetiver and a resinous benzoin hum. It's sweet, woody, and undeniably masculine.
