The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003 by Ralph Lauren and crafted by dsm-firmenich, Purple Label is a composition that balances aromatic brightness with woody depth. The fragrance opens with the fresh zing of mandarin orange and green coriander, which gives way to the herbal warmth of sage and thyme. This contrasts beautifully against the richness of mahogany and oakmoss in the base notes, anchored by musk for a lasting, comforting presence. Purple Label is designed to be both contemporary and lasting, fitting seamlessly into any setting.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points and allow it a few minutes to settle before you leave. The top notes are bright but fleeting, while the musky base continues to evolve on skin throughout the day. It works well in cooler weather when its warm woody tones provide a comforting layer.
