‘While a fruity-floral, Puredistance Divanché avoids the oft-pretty sugariness of that genre adroitly. This pure parfum (28%) is a fine example of naturals and synthetics working together. (FYI: all the house’s releases since their 2007 debut created by Annie Buzantian, Puredistance 1, are in pure parfum concentration.)
Puredistance Divanché feels out of sync with many of the current trends in modern niche. This is a particularly good thing – it doesn’t equate quality and parfum concentration with blaring and brash performance.’
‘This could be one of the cleanest fragrances I’ve ever smelled. Quite an unexpected take on these fruity florals as I perceived them pitched by the brand. To my nose, this is very musky from start to finish. It smells like a luxury laundry detergent or fabric softener, in one of the best executions I’ve experienced.’
‘In DIVANCHÉ pear is very much present in the diffusion of the fragrance, the main protagonist, juxtaposing the light mushroom-like moistness of the gardenia and the hints of lactonic elements hiding in the recesses of the formula (a hint of peach, more than a bit of jasmolactone, a soupçon of fig leaf and milk). It feels ripe and rich, yet fresh and softly caressing, like the wings of an angel or the frisky fur of a long-haired kitten if you’re so inclined.
The woods and musks sensualize and round the floral heart. Finally, resinoids lead the fragrance to an unwavering denouement where DIVANCHÉ gains the feeling of a soft whisper over the skin.’

‘Initially, the fragrance opens with a truly pleasant semi-sweet freshness. Tones of apple and pear are the most noticeable. But this is simply an introductory act; moments later, the true protagonists of almost the entire development of Divanché: the flowers, come into play.’
‘DIVANCHÉ Is both sensual and classically feminine. The blend and quality of the oils is as expected first class. My wife absolutely adores this juice and so do i’
‘It’s a heavenly gardenia scent—fresh, clean, and floral. It smells effortlessly beautiful and refined, just as you’d expect from Puredistance. The opening is inviting, with fresh fruity notes of apple, pear, and pineapple, but it quickly develops into florals. Heliotrope and hedione are listed here—and if you know me, you’ll know those two are my soft spots.
I call this scent pure beauty in a bottle—chic, light, and happy. A beautiful creation by Nathalie Feisthauer.’
‘This to me is a fragrance that represents the unconditional dedication, bonding, renewing vows, depicting through notes and accords what eternal love should be. Pure, heavenly and unforgettable. Smelling it feels like a blessing.’
‘The latest and very anticipated fragrance release from Puredistance, DIVANCHÉ, is a stunning ode to femininity, elegance, and quiet luxury. Described by the brand as “a scent from heaven,” I must say, I wholeheartedly agree. It feels heavenly indeed: refined, sophisticated, and almost ethereal in its purity. If you’re familiar with Puredistance, you’ll know the house is renowned for its luxurious, meticulously balanced compositions, and DIVANCHÉ more than lives up to those high expectations. It embodies everything we’ve come to admire about the brand.’
‘Japanese Gardenia (Kuchinashi) carries deep symbolism in Japan. Its name means “no mouth,” and it represents unspoken feelings, silent beauty, and inner strength. Since Japanese Gardenia is difficult to distill traditionally, the fragrance evokes its beauty through a blend of floral and fruity notes. The mild juiciness of pear with a fresh apple crunch, followed by a floral heart that suggests gardenia through the sweetness of jasmine, creaminess of tuberose and and the soft tropical floral hues of champaca.
I included a Puredistance image of a ballerina in the carousel, when I saw it, I thought this scent feels exactly like that, graceful, fragile, and hovering in the sky,just like a ballerina. And the crisp bite of apple evokes the crisp folds of a tutu skirt…’
‘The floral preppiness, however, is moderated by the vibrant fruity notes (pear, apple, pineapple) that add a light-hearted, utterly joyous energy—the kind that I associate with memories of carefree, childhood holidays. It is this charming, affecting interplay between grown-up poise and innocent playfulness that touches me the most about this fragrance.. It is a versatile perfume, suited as much for special occasions, as for casual wear by those who embrace undestatedly luxurious, refined scents in their everyday lives.’
