The Woods Collection

Pure Shine

EDP2016

“Pineapple sparkle with a powdery finish — the sunny spring floral that suits whoever picks it up.”

Pure Shine
citrus
musky
fresh

The Woods Collection's 2016 Pure Shine is often compared to Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (2010): grapefruit and pineapple open over jasmine and hyacinth, settling into a soft, clean drydown. Citrus leads the accords, with musky, fresh and powdery facets. The pineapple gives the citrus a juicy sweetness, while the hyacinth adds a green floral lift and the base stays light. A spring daytime scent.

The take

What works

  • ●A semi-niche, unisex take on the Chanel Chance signature — sharper and greener
  • ●Smoother materials than the marketplace clones
  • ●A real boutique bottle rather than a budget knockoff

Trade-offs

  • ●The priciest pick here, though still well under the Chanel
  • ●Leans brighter and more citrus-forward than Eau Tendre's sweetness
