Pure like the calla lilies of the Lempicka's portrait
La Pureté for Him reminds me of the CALLA LILIES In Lempicka's work, which resembles the symbolism of the arum flower: the white corolla, of course, brings the ideal of purity to mind. There are two fragrances, one for women (the white flacon) and one for men (the grey flacon). I am going to review the masculine scent. So read here below.
The packaging is very original, and the book wraps the bottle. Yes, the box is similar to a book, and the bottle is embedded in there, which is lovely to see elegant. The bottle is minimal, made of dark gray glass mate finish, giving a pleasant soft-touch sensation.
Classified as woody-floral, balsamic, and mossy, and for me, moderately sweet and oriental, the scent is completely different from nowadays men's fragrances. When I sniffed the first spray, my first impression was a kind of almond milk, bright, pure, a bit powdery, still bitter, and far from iris dusty. And the overall accord immediately captured me. Orange blossom and almonds stay longer as part of the middle notes on my skin. Instead, I didn't get any bergamot. At this stage, although the fragrance stays clean and pure, I perceive it as manly, gentle, and discreetly masculine.
As for the heart note, the woodsy aspect I perceive is a blend of guaiac, patchouli, and tonka bean, not too sweet, not cloying, of course. I know they are two things apart, but for some reason, I found a similarity with Kenzo Power; the floral accord is very much alike.
Ultimately, from the dry down on my skin, I got delicious notes of sandalwood, a pleasant woody accord. Ain't no mossy deal, no dominance of the white musk.
Meseems, it is ideal for wet and cold days, so I recommend spring, fall, and wintertime. The projection is near you, and the trail of scent left behind is discrete a pure breath. It has exceptional longevity, about 8 hours, and more. I wore it in the morning and the day after a, could smell it on my clothes. Yes, it is not overpowering, though it stays with you forever.
So, this masculine fragrance is a mysterious boisé, which spreads an asexual message comparable to an angel's breath on the skin. Did I intrigue you?
