Pure Turquoise by Ralph Lauren

jazz444

I found Tania Sanchez's review of PT (how it can be worn as a strange masculine) interesting, so I bought it.

Is it possible for a scent to be roaringly quiet? It was all I could smell--in fact every move I made, literally, even just a slight move of my head or arms, sent waves of PT into the air. It was so intense on me, yet no one else commented on it. I truly felt like I was a foghorn while wearing it.

The lily of the valley and lily are the main notes which cling to my skin. And it is very green and occasionally powdery--perhaps that's the cactus flower and violet leaf working well together. Unfortunately, I don't smell any patchouli or vanilla or rum, which is a shame, because these basenotes would be a welcome relief to the floral greenness.

I will wear PT again because it certainly is interesting, but in smaller doses.

I hate this perfume. i bought a bottle from eBay without sniff it. Why? Because this perfume are not available in my country. Base from review here, i thought it smell wonderful. i expect something aquatic and lovely, but i get a very dry smokey smell. It give me headache. The woodsy notes are too heavy for me, i feel like i was in Chinese medical store. Please...!! it smell suck.. my collague ask me to never ever wear it again. It stinky. i have to sell it back in eBay. Hate it so much...

I Love the sweet scent of cactus bathing in the southwestern sun
the pure blue skies it's like your going on a journey though the caves
from the lost tribes of the southwest
you discoved different colored mineals on the caves and your watching the Navajo women weaving there famous quilts and you ride your horse though the desert that leads you to no where i just love this frangrance.

Pure Turquoise - probably one of the most fitting perfume name... imagine it´s a very very hot day and you´re in a forest...forest itself is a great remedy for the hot day and then you find a little brook with a fresh water... that´s what I imagine when I sniff this perfume... and I am sure I can´t even appreciate this perfume fully beacause in this time of the year it´s literally freezing outside and this is the perfume for hot summer...

Light, breezy fragrance, very lemony and oceanic. I don't get strong flowers in this, it's more like a breath of fresh air and lasts about as long. However it is quite overpowering in the first couple of minutes, almost to the point of headache. I bought this after it got quite high reviews in a fragrance guide and it was on sale exceptionally cheap - just AUD$20 for 75ml. It is nice and I don't regret it, but I think I'll struggle to get through the whole bottle. I like sharper, spicier, more powdery scents so this is a little out of my comfort zone and it shows.

Due to the reviews I had to run out and try this today. I can't really fault it however its not for me. This scent is a bit too unisex for me.

Its lovely and fresh and a great scent for every day. It would be fantastic for someone who doesn't like heavy perfumes or likes to wear light perfumes. Its a very easy to wear perfume and would suit just about anyone.

Ralph Lauren's PURE TURQUOISE is a subtly alluring, unique, long-lasting unisex chypre. I obviously love this fragrance, judging by the less than .5oz remaining in my 2.5oz edp. (In fact, I'm shopping for a 4.2oz replacement...)

Who knew that cactus and birch could find a place in perfume? Well they do here, and I love this combination: everything is perfectly measured so that nothing really stands out. Vanilla and rum might have been disastrous for me (I actually suffer a gag reflex at the very thought of rum and coke!) Instead, PURE TURQUOISE somehow combines a variety of unlikely elements--including the sometimes domineering patchouli and intense neroli--into a symphonic poem, evoking a beautiful, endless desert of shimmering white sand in which tumbleweeds blow by as the warm wind caresses the wearer's soul.

PURE TURQUOISE is a dry, nonflowery chypre which should appeal to anyone who likes Boucheron's JAIPUR SAPHIR (another great unisex fragrance, à mon avis)...

Victoria Regia

Hands down the best offering by the House of Ralph Lauren. A crisp, rich chypre-floral, lightly tinged by berries with strong earthy undertones. It possesses great sillage and lasting power, and it could easily become overpowering if applied with a heavy hand. A natural beauty that's undeniably chic and sophisticated, and probably one of the most underrated fragrances in the market.

I bought this perfume in the dark, with only the opinions described here...and I am in love with him !!!! Thanks!

Beautiful and fresh! Like nothing I have tried before. Just received a mini from Fragrancenet.com.

Very attractive, fresh floral scent , clean without being soapy , earthy in a very feminine way . I easily can see this as being a perfect beach scent or to even bring to mind the same carefree vibe , for myself this would go perfectly with a simple white ribbed tank top , faded blue jeans , and sandals , topped off with that turqouise necklace , but this is so inoffensive , I'd wear it anywhere , anytime of the year.

If turquoise had a smell it would be Pure Turquoise...it the most complex fragrance i have ever owned! At first i was on the fence bout it but then after a second use it smells like walking on a deserted island by the beach...just different! Try it!

siskakak

the scent are really strong at the begining...are very long lasting perfume..I never smell cactus cereus flower,the smell more soapy detergent but when top notes disseapear make it the scent more classy and beautiful thanks to designer RLPT...

guest_cat lover

I love almost any fragrance but this is not pure turquoise... it's pure cat piss in a bottle. On the other hand smelled very lovely on my friend. Very interesting.

You're in the middle of the desert. Your gown of the sheerest, gossamer silk fabric is flowing around you in the breeze. The morning air is brisk and cool. You look down and see a pool of crystal clear water lined with beautiful deep blue turquoise stones. You slide one bare foot tentatively into the pool and stir the water with your toes. Up drifts the most beautiful, clear fragrance you have ever known.

You have just experienced Pure Turquoise. The fragrance is slightly sweet but mostly sensual, a little earthy but completely pure and beautiful. The dry down lets the rum and bourbon come through but the heart of the fragrance stays true and the lasting power is phenomenal. This is my new favorite perfume.

BlackAmberMoon

One of the few fragrances that actually smells like its name--if turquoise had a scent, this might be it. Classic and clean without smelling soapy or marine, this is fresh and feminine. Go easy on the application, however, as this is not a light fragrance and can easily become overpowering. Just the lotion might be enough on hot days. Wear it in the summer with a crisp white linen shirt, a sleek ponytail, and of course, turquoise jewelry.

There's a huge difference between TRYİNG and USİNG this perfume!...I've changed my mind after trying once(and I deleted my first review in that I was talking about its aristocracy bla bla...)
Trial could be interesting but was terrible for me! I couldn't wait it to fade and I toke shower in 30 minutes...Iuww!!!
My advice is: if you like it by testing, find a tester and USE min. two days before buying it!...

TURQUOISE

Turquoise is my favourite color.. and this perfume smells a lot like PURE TURQUOISE!
It reminds me the touch of a smooth sea breeze, while the hot sun is diving into the deep blue!
it's fresh, earthy, cool but at the same time it feels sexy, elegant and mysterius!
It's an unexpected signature scent that can turn innocence into provocation!

I got a sample from my dear friend Darlingbuds and I find it to be quite unique..
and after asilverfire614 gave me some clues about it, decided to buy a bottle of it!
feels warm, fresh, cozy in a sensuous way..I dont smell the vanilla( although I detect a faint warm and cozy scent) nor the patchouli..to me it is more a floral with woodsy undertones..The notes are equlally distributed, it all blends in a nice soft way, soft but enticing to me
but not a chypre( which I hate)..I am not a big fan of RLauren perfumes, but I agree that one is by far his best!! very appealing and feminine..and the staying power is great!

This is one of the few fragrances that reminds me of being by a body of water without smelling aquatic. It's just green enough to make me think of an open field full of reeds, wild flowers, and a little pond. Maybe some Indians hunting buffalo nearby! :)

Very well-balanced fragrance between the florals and greens and the rum in the dry-down was a delightful ending. Excellent staying power - put it on around 4 this afternoon and I'm STILL sniffing my arm!

This is the only RL scent I've found that I really enjoy. If you haven't found one either, give this one a try...

darlingbuds

Chypre-floral? Nope. Not in my nose it ain't. Got this as a sample in a swap.
It's definitely, as another reviewer described 'unusual' and not overtly feminine. It warms up cozily on the skin and is never loud, but very clearly present. You will smell it on yourself all day long -- but closely. You won't project a wave of scent, but for that split second after you're gone, there will be the slight residue of slightly sweet warm bread. And I do mean slight; the vanilla though always present,even upfront, is never an urgent note.

I wondered for a little while why RL called this fragrance 'Pure Turquoise' since it's not a strictly 'fresh' or marine-like scent at all. Then it struck me: it smells like someone who likes to wear turquoise. At least in my own life, I find there is a certain type of woman who does. Not your average Jane, this turquoise. Nice!

The best way to describe this fragrance is "turquoise"! I have rarely seen a fragrance that fits its promotion as well as this one: the packaging, the ad, the name!
fresh, crisp, blue and bright greens.
Not sweet, not girly yet not masculine nor soapy ...perfect!

This fragrance reminds me of a beautiful summer afternoon at the lake shore. The sun is getting red, the reflects of trees and sun beams are playing on the water. The weather is warm, there's a light summer breeze...

Pure Turquoise has this smell of a lake water and all the greenery that grows around it. I can clearly smell water with herbs in it. Pure Turquoise is light, airy and fresh green scent.

I just purchased this and I think it is amazing. I think I will be wearing this a lot this fall and winter. It's crip and very expensive smelling. It has a lot of flower power oh I just can't stop smelling my wrist... Love this... always am pleased with Ralph...

tangledvines

I smelled this today at the store and wasn't that thrilled with the scent. It's not bad, it's just fairly ordinary.

persefonex

I love the vanilla in perfume and when i read about this, i wished try it. I bought it and i think is delicious. Its floral notes are amazing. Is inusual and very feminine. Is for a woman like a fairy :)

I have just purchased a HUGE bottle of this perfume, and today it is making me ill. I wish I could return it. :( It is making me want to shower and change clothes.

kiselina

It's amazing, I love it. Very interesting and unusual fragrance, crisp and cool.

guest_May

I fell in love with this fragrance when I first tested it. Immediately I bought it without hesitation and regret.Into my second bottle now. It last all day smelling fresh and good!!!

Chaosnmotion

I love Pure Turquoise... it is one of his best fragrances. It is a very interesting blend that I wear day and evening. It is crisp and soothing at the same time. I have to be in a Mood to wear this, it has a personality with it that I find in few fragrances... in my mind one of RL's most original fragrances.
