What do reviewers say about Purpose and Encens Mythique?
Purpose is not a safe blind buy. It demands attention, particularly in the opening where frankincense and allspice create an almost medicinal intensity.Purpose
The aldehydic opening sets a tone of confident brightness before the rose arrives with saffron's spice. The real hook is the rose-and-frankincense pairing, two notes that create unexpected harmony.Encens Mythique
