The review

On paper, Purple Extreme For Men is an outside bet if you want Ultraviolet for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ultraviolet's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

It is $122 per 100ml.

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 bergamot, mint and green notes, turns to coriander, amber and woody notes, and settles into vanilla, ambergris and musk. That is the brief Purple Extreme For Men is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • mint
  • green notes

Heart

  • coriander
  • amber
  • woody notes

Base

  • vanilla
  • ambergris
  • musk
Cool mineral freshness over warm amber vanilla, futuristic in a distinctly 1999 way.
