Pure Crystal
Pure Crystal by Lattafa is an unisex eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with bergamot, red berries, grapefruit, bitter orange and cinnamon, moves into clary sage, ginger and cognac and dries down to amber, cardamom, musk, patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Cognac Boozy, fruity and warming. Richer and rounder than rum.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
