Puredistance Warszawa No. 08 is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Antoine Lie. Warszawa No. 08 opens with Grapefruit, Violet Leaf, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Broom, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Styrax. Puredistance's Warszawa No. 08 carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive yet undeniably glamorous scent. Warszawa is either a masterpiece of vintage-inspired elegance or a bit too 'great-great-aunt' for some, but all agree it demands attention with its refined, complex floral character.

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.

Date Formal

With strong projection and long-lasting performance, Warszawa leans towards more formal settings and evening wear. Its rich, elegant character makes it less suitable for casual or sport wear, and its intensity could be overwhelming in an office setting.

About

Warszawa opens with a sharp, green burst of galbanum and grapefruit, softened by powdery violet leaf. The heart unfolds into a rich, creamy bouquet of jasmine and iris, with a distinctive honeyed broom note. A sophisticated drydown of earthy vetiver, patchouli, and styrax provides a warm, resinous anchor, rounding out this opulent floral journey.
