Fragrance information:

The Path to Purity: History and Essence

Van Gils Puur, launched in 2008, is a men’s eau de toilette belonging to the woody and oriental fragrance families.

Its name translates as “pure”—and it truly offers a fresh, transparent take on the classic woody-spicy accord.

Known for its Dutch elegance, Van Gils created this fragrance for men who appreciate understated luxury and impeccable style. The brand’s official website: gprofumi.it.

Olfactory Palette: From Citrus to a Woody Base

The composition opens with a sparkling, tart freshness: bergamot, bitter orange, and lavender set an invigorating, subtly spicy tone.

At its heart unfolds a comforting woody-musky core: ambrette, cashmeran, guaiac wood, and Virginia cedar. The base is warm and enveloping: amber, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk.

Despite its rich composition, the fragrance feels exceptionally harmonious and unobtrusive.

For Everyday Elegance

The sillage is barely noticeable—a personal touch perceptible only at close range. An ideal choice for the office, business meetings, or cozy evenings.

Puur does not demand attention, yet it leaves the impression of a well-groomed, stylish man. Thanks to its softness, it can be worn confidently even in hot weather.

Similar Fragrances to Explore

If you enjoyed Puur, consider Initio Parfums Prives Rehab, Novaya Zarya Chypre, and Avon Herve Leger Intrigue Homme.

They share a similar woody-oriental foundation and a comfortable, unobtrusive character.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Puur is built on the contrast between fresh and warm notes. The top accords—bergamot, bitter orange, and lavender—create an invigorating citrus-herbal opening.

The heart reveals spicy woods: ambrette, cashmeran, guaiac wood, and Virginia cedar.

The base is soft and sensual: amber, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk create a trail that stays close to the skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Extremely inconspicuous

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
