A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

A long shot. That is where Purposeful Essence lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Purpose 50.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Purpose 50's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

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

It is $159 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
