Pascal Morabito Purple Ruby is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Corinne Cachen. Purple Ruby opens with Apple, Raspberry, and Strawberry, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Peony, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Caramel. Pascal Morabito's Purple Ruby carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This budget-friendly fruity gourmand is a divisive beast. For some, it's a luscious strawberry-caramel dream; for others, it's a synthetic, plasticky nightmare. Blind buy at your peril, unless your tastes lean firmly towards the sweet and artificial.

Scent Profile

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.

Its potent sweetness and strong sillage make it too much for most office environments and inappropriate for formal events. However, its playful, attention-grabbing nature is well-suited for casual outings and dates, particularly in cooler weather.

About

Purple Ruby opens with a bold, sugary blast of synthetic strawberry and raspberry, like a bag of pick-n-mix sweets. This sweet fruitiness is quickly joined by a sticky caramel and creamy vanilla, forming a gourmand heart. Hints of gardenia and peony add a soft floral touch, while a musky base keeps it grounded, though the overall impression remains overtly sweet and bright.
