Its style
The strongest accord is woody (100%), followed by aromatic and citrus. You will probably like it if you enjoy woody and aromatic smells and notes like bamboo and cypress. Less obvious notes include coriander, iris and musk. Perfume fans rate it 4.01 out of 5.
Which weather suits Essence Pure
It is at its best in spring. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are spring, fall, winter and summer. If you need something for summer, Dior Fahrenheit is a better fit. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Roja Dove Roja Oceania and Bvlgari Extreme last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cypress and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Essence Pure for work or evenings
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
