This is a bold, divisive scent - you'll either love Purple Stain's distinctive 'grape' character and incredible performance or recoil from its intensity. Not for the faint of heart or nose, it's a statement piece that's garnered a cult following.

Louis Vuitton's Ambre Levant channels 'golden hour' amber-oud opulence, and this dupe reproduces the mandarin-cinnamon opening and amber-incense heart well, though the Bangladesh oud's rare, aged character is inevitably approximated with a more generic wood.
