A fresh gourmand
Pure Wish is an interesting fragrance in the sense that it has three definitive changes throughout the scent pyramid. The transitions are often difficult to detect in some scents, but with Pure Wish the journey is very clear.
Pure Wish opens with quite a sharp alcoholic accord, which reminded me of sanitizing wipes. As it settled, sour yuzu and juicy pear tended to overwhelm the senses. For the first ten or so minutes, I was wondering how this fragrance was a flanker of Wish, (a blatant rip-off of Angel), with it's chocolatey and dark oriental feel.
Before I could question any further, Pure Wish merged into the heart which was a unique blend of powdery patchouli, fiery chilli and musk. Indeed this fragrance is quite 'pure' and angelic in the way that it makes you feel clean and pretty with its soft powderiness and subtle soapiness.
Smouldering seductively underneath it all is a much earthier patchouli note with gooey caramel and sweet, fluffy vanilla. It's like the girl that goes to church every Sunday with black lace panties. It's a sexy secret which only emerges when you strip back all the layers.
It's quite a cuddly and Wintery scent, however the citrus in the opening makes it wearable during Spring too. This is thankfully not a rip-off of Thierry Mugler's Innocent, which was what I was initially fearing it to be.
The longevity is really impressive, so good that I was shocked to learn that this was an EDT. I would like to thank the generous Adrien02 for having given me a bottle of Pure Wish during her Spring giveaway. I love this fragrance dearly and can not wait to wear it in the coming Winter months.
