The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Pure Instinct by Swiss Arabian is a composition that balances the freshness of citrus and green notes with a rich woody base. The fragrance opens with grapefruit and apple, creating a bright and invigorating start. As it develops, spicy elements like pepper and cardamom add depth, while tuberose and rose infuse the heart with floral warmth. The base notes of patchouli, amber, cedar, vanilla, vetiver, and leather create a grounding effect, making Pure Instinct feel both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Pure Instinct to your pulse points for a strong opening impact. The citrus and green top notes will fade within the first hour, so give it time to settle into its spicy and woody heart. Best worn during cooler weather or in air-conditioned spaces where the warmth of the base notes can fully shine.
