The review

Worth a try. That is where Purple Roma Melancholia For Men lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia.

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.

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

Strength9.5
