The review

On paper, Purple Roma Melancholia For Men 2589 is a reasonable bet if you want Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia'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 24% less than Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia — the cheapest of 2 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.
