PURITAS

The pink pepper hits immediately, sharp and almost medicinal, but it melts into this warm leathery amber that lasts on my skin for hours. I wasn’t sure about a 100ml bottle for such a bold scent, but it’s perfect—one spray and I’m set for the whole day.

That absinthe note is what sold me—it’s genuinely medicinal and sharp, but the amber and tonka underneath round it out into something deep and wearable. I’ve had it on for six hours and the leathery base is still going strong.

The absinthe note gives it that sharp, almost medicinal kick I was hoping for, and it settles into a warm leathery amber that lasts well past dinner. I've been reaching for it every day since it arrived.
