Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Loving lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Purpose.
HK Perfumes 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.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Purpose — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: olibanum, black pepper and pink pepper up top, vetiver, papyrus and sandalwood in the middle, akigalawood, suede and saffron underneath — the shape of Amouage Purpose.
Top
- olibanum
- black pepper
- pink pepper
Heart
- vetiver
- papyrus
- sandalwood
Base

Crackling pepper and dry incense over papyrus and suede — sleek, smoky and sophisticated.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
