"I have tried The Purple Bar and it is hands down, my favorite so far.

The glorious top draws its pungency from fresh orange peels, exuding the bright scent of orange oils. This is followed by a heart of precious davana absolute, a rare, aromatic herb, distilled to bring an illusion of a basket of dried, candied tropical fruits. Encircling the narcotic davana is a perfect marriage of sizzling cinnamon and pungent cloves, all of which helps to create a syrupy, spiced caramel effect, and giving the wearer a recollection of an orange pomander studded with cloves and rolled in cinnamon dust, the scent of Christmas past. Emerging through the honeyed center are high quality patchouli leaves, the ancient aroma of the East, evocative of the paisley shawls brought back from India. The earthy patchouli lends its distinctive aroma to temper the sweetness of a resinous base blending creamy vanilla and the rich, balsamic touch of labdanum and benzoin. The extract lingers on the skin, its drydown leaving a soft and powdery, trace of patchouli.

I think it will now replace my old vanilla standby - Shalimar. The Purple Bar has so much more than Shalimar could ever dream of. It is extremely long lasting.

I absolutely NEED a full bottle for sure. I want to wear this every day."
