Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, starting bold and medicinal before mellowing into something surprisingly harmonious. It's a solid, sophisticated choice that balances the punch of oud with the sweetness of fruit and rose.
Violet Sapphire is a divisive one. Fans call it a 'beast mode' fruity-oud, a step up from the Erba Pura style with a smoother, more natural feel. Critics, though, find it overpriced and surprisingly similar to mass-market fruity fragrances, with some detecting an unpleasant 'dirty musk' or 'barnyard' oud.
