The review
On paper, Silent Purpose is a reasonable bet if you want Purpose for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Purpose's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $120 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Purpose — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on olibanum, black pepper and pink pepper, turns to vetiver, papyrus and sandalwood, and settles into akigalawood, suede and saffron. That is the brief Silent Purpose is working from.
Top
- olibanum
- black pepper
- pink pepper
Heart
- vetiver
- papyrus
- sandalwood
Base
- akigalawood
- suede
- saffron
Crackling pepper and dry incense over papyrus and suede — sleek, smoky and sophisticated.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Amouage Purpose we can price, Silent Purpose is number 2 on price per 100ml.
