The review
On paper, Purple Cove is a strong bet if you want Blackberry & Bay for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blackberry & Bay's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $41 per 100ml it costs 73% less than Blackberry & Bay — 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.
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 blackberry and bergamot, turns to bay leaf, and settles into cedar, musk and vetiver. That is the brief Purple Cove is working from.
Top
- blackberry
- bergamot
Heart
- bay leaf
Base
- cedar
- musk
- vetiver
Sharp blackberries and crushed bay leaves, fruit without a gram of sugar.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
