Puredistance M V2Q is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Antoine Lie. M V2Q opens with Orange Blossom, Lavender, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Jasmin Sambac, Cinnamon, and Pine Tar, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Puredistance's M V2Q carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a polarizing beast, a bold reinvention that some adore for its unique, rich depth and beast-mode performance, while others find it an unbalanced departure from its predecessor. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or those expecting a direct replica of the original M.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With eternal longevity and strong sillage, this isn't an office-friendly scent, but perfect for dates and formal events where its unique depth can shine. Many reviews highlight its 'beast-mode' performance and 'not for boys' character, making it ideal for evening wear.

About

M V2Q explodes with an initial burst of bright orange blossom and a hint of peppery lavender, quickly descending into a complex, verdant heart. Cypriol and pine tar dominate, weaving a shadowy, earthy tapestry, spiced with cinnamon and a whisper of jasmine. The dry-down is a deep, resonant hum of cedar and patchouli, softened by vanilla and tonka bean, leaving a trail of sophisticated, almost leathery warmth with impressive longevity.
