Pure Turquoise Perfume by Ralph Lauren, The elegance and sophistication of pure turquoise is evident from the first whiff . The top notes that initially hit your nose are those of black current leaf, violet, cactus flower and lily-of-the-valley. This fragrant floral bouquet then settles into the heart of the perfume, which consists of orange blossom, bulgarian rose and desert lily. Finishing off with a blend of patchouli, birch, amber, vanilla bourbon and rum, the result is surprisingly green despite the heavy floral overtones. The woody and leathery base notes add a complexity that rounds out the perfume nicely. This scent is clean and fresh, with a light and airy feel that is rarely found in floral perfumes. Famed fashion and fragrance house ralph lauren launched pure turquoise in 2005 with the help of expert nose annie buzantian. The company chose a clear glass, rectangular bottle with a simple round, silver stopper crowned with an inlay of the turquoise stone. The simplicity of the bottle emphasizes the pureness that is also reflected in the perfume’s name. This fragrance can be dabbed on the pressure points at the wrist, behind the ear or at the nape of the neck for a lasting scent of the desert in full bloom.
