The review
On paper, Purple Roma Melancholia 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.
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 cardamom and bergamot, turns to lavandin and violet, and settles into coconut, vetiver and cashmere wood. That is the brief Purple Roma Melancholia is working from.

Lavandin and cardamom over coconut cream, the Roma vetiver softened almost to velvet.
