Purple Label Ralph Lauren for men

My hubby and I first smelt this aftershave in the US and he immediately bought a bottle!
Its a fabulous fragrance, sweet, spicy, woody and lingering. This fragrance lasted all day on hubby and we have tried to get it in this country but its very difficult to get hold of.
It is a bit pricy but I think its worth it. Ralph Lauren is always classy and original, we just love this!!!

I’d first encountered RL Purple in 2004 when I’d also discovered Lauren’s Purple Label line of men’s clothing. I still have some of my shirts and ties from that period, all of them of very superior Italian make and quality. The fragrance matched the style very well. The contrasts of leather, fruits, herbs and tobacco flower were delightful and interesting to smell, even if it was something that tended to lack as much sillage as I’d prefer.

It opens with green coriander, blackberry and lemon. The heart notes include tobacco blossom, sage, hedion and thyme. Base notes end with oak moss, suede, mahogany and musk. This wasn’t a bad combination, and the combination of tobacco blossom, blackberry and suede were the very definition of those notes I so enjoyed. It worked just as well for casual wear as it did for a formal affair, and was just as comfortable in the office as the weekend.

Longevity and silage, however, are issues with the fragrance. The dry-down was fleeting and the base would begin to fade by the 6 hour mark. Not unrealistic for an eau de toilette, though I simply wished that the sillage wouldn’t simply vanish within 2 hours and the entire fragrance by 6. It’s single 125ml size isn't something you could carry in your back pocket easily for a refresh, and there is no travel size unless you emptied a portion into a small atomizer. Nearly everything else, however…flawlessly executed.

This is a scent I would highly recommend, and I honestly would contend that the right woman could just as easily pull this off as well. It's one of trusty stalwart fragrances, despite its scarce distribution -- I only wish Ralph Lauren would do more with this.

This is living proof that I detest Ralph Lauren fragrances... This is so awful & synthetic! & shame on the price tag! Its nothing but a glorified air freshner. There is not a single frag from this house that I like! Ralph Lauren gets the award of having a totally uninspired house IMO!

Why is it so expensive? not worth at all

An amped up version of Glade at 100 times the price. So cloyingly green, and then an hour in, decides to drown itself and turn into a watery, screechy green. Who can stand it--or better yet, who cares--at this point?

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

This is very good.....Maybe somemore notes could be added, a little coconut, vanilla, yuzu, bergamot, cucumber, melon family(watermelon, honeydew, cantelope), green apple, pineapple, guava...ya know....

Good but it would probably smell better mixed with some Seasonal Fabreeze, spray on fabrics, in your car, on clothes, and maybe iron the scent into them, that'd be a good idea, since it's soooo light and fresh

just got some more of this, and I love it....Beautiful!!!!

Light, floral, but still manly..something you can wear with a suit, jeans/shorts and t-shirt/polo/button-up/cuff-link...Air forces/dunks, jordans, diesels, dress shoes...whatever..this is versatile...beautifully done.

dont care if this is a night time fragrance id wear this all day long and anywhere it smells so good

limited number of stores have had this...dang now i got to order this online, from the actual website, not any fragrance website...rl.

This is beautiful, elegant and refined. I hate to see it classified as a scent for "middle aged gentlemen" because Purple Label is less about age and more about subtlety and understated chic.

The herbal character of PL does not screech at you and the tobacco note will not remind you of an old man's humidor. Purple Label is quite beautiful and could easily be worn by a woman who was looking for genteel wood notes.

I wish more men would wear scents like this one!

If I'm ever to try wear men's perfume it should be this one. Very nice composition and I love purple as the theme. And of course the idea of smelling like a middle aged rich man...lol
