Top fragrance. Impeccable quality for the price. It smells vintage yet incredibly pleasant; I can guarantee people will ask what you’re wearing.
Initially, it smells almost identical to the regular Pure XS, but later it doesn’t become as sweet and woody as the Paco Rabanne version; instead, it remains more sparkling and linear. Longevity and projection are notable; a few sprays are enough to create a strong presence. I prefer it in warm or temperate climates, especially in spring, always used with care as it can become heavy in intense heat. For under £20, it’s an absolute bargain. As far as I know, Rue Broca is a sub-brand of Afnan.
At first, it smells the same as the regular Pure XS, but subsequently it doesn’t turn as sweet and woody as the Paco Rabanne variant; it stays more sparkling and linear. Longevity and projection are impressive; a few sprays suffice for significant presence. I favour it in warm or temperate conditions, particularly in spring, always with caution because in high heat it can feel heavy. At the current price (under £20), it’s a genuine steal. Rue Broca is, to the best of my knowledge, a sub-brand of Afnan.
