The review

Purple Rain scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Lilac Love.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Lilac Love'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 68% less than Lilac Love — the cheapest of 1 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.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes 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

Amouage Lilac Love is lilac and green notes at first, heliotrope, rose and orris at its heart and incense, vanilla and Tonka Bean at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
