About This Perfume

Think fresh floral powder with woody musk: that is Karen Low Pure Couture. It opens with floral notes, moves into lotus, magnolia and peony and settles on ambergris, mahogany and musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days. Released in 2011.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
  • Sample first if: citrus is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.

Around $20.
