The review

On paper, Amber Purpose 2169 is a reasonable bet if you want Purpose for less.

Perfume Parlour 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.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

Strength9.5
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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 Amber Purpose 2169 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.
