Puredistance Puredistance No. 12 is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Puredistance No. 12 opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Ylang-Ylang, and Narcissus, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Puredistance's Puredistance No. 12 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, a complex floral musk that reveals itself over time. It's not for everyone, with some finding it too 'old lady soap' while others laud its sophisticated, classic beauty. Definitely leans feminine.

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.

With long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, this scent is suitable for evenings and special events where its complexity can be appreciated.

About

Puredistance No. 12 opens with a bright burst of citrus from mandarin and bergamot, quickly intertwining with the lush, exotic florals of ylang-ylang and narcissus, giving it an aphrodisiac lift. As it settles, a powdery heart emerges, blending iris and heliotrope with a rich bouquet of rose, jasmine, and orange blossom, softened by a touch of lily of the valley. The base deepens into a creamy, woody embrace of sandalwood and vetiver, underpinned by a soft, sensual musk and a hint of vanilla and tonka bean, leaving a lasting impression of refined elegance.
