Pretty in Purple

Pretty in Purple is a bright, modern floral from Juicy Couture, marketed for women. Floral is how everyone describes it, with a third also finding it woody and a few noticing spice, musk or citrus, which fits a clean bouquet on a light woody base.

Bergamot and pink pepper open it, the citrus bright and slightly bitter, the pepper rosy and lightly spicy, so the start feels fresh with a little lift. The heart is a full floral: Turkish rose oil brings a rich, slightly honeyed rosiness, jasmine sambac a warm, creamy, heady depth, gardenia a waxy, slightly green sweetness, and magnolia a lemony, petal-like freshness that keeps the bigger flowers in check. The base is dry and understated, with cedar for a pencil-like wood, vetiver for a smoky, rooty dryness, and musk for a soft, clean, skin-like finish that lets the flowers stay in front.

It is a daytime scent for spring and summer, for women who like a proper floral bouquet with woods rather than sugar beneath it.
