About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Launched in 2003, Purple Label by Ralph Lauren is a discontinued men's fragrance that opens with a bright, fruity-aromatic blend of blackberry, green coriander, and mandarin orange. The top notes are vivid and slightly tart, with the blackberry lending a juicy quality that is quickly balanced by the green, citrusy coriander and the sweetness of mandarin. This opening is fleeting but memorable, setting the stage for a more herbal heart.

The heart reveals sage and thyme, classic aromatic herbs that add a dry, savory character. These notes are supported by a base of mahogany, oakmoss, and musk, which provide a woody, earthy foundation with a soft muskiness. The overall composition is aromatic (100%), with fruity and woody facets (72% and 71%), and herbal and musky undertones (60% and 57%). This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate vintage aromatic woody scents with a fruity twist. It is versatile enough for daytime wear or casual evenings, particularly in spring and autumn.
