Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Purple Heart V 5
This one is a real Marmite-moment, mate. Folks either reckon it's a bloody masterpiece of dark, inky fruitiness or pure, unadulterated medicinal ink with a side of BBQ. Definitely not a blind-buy, unless you like a bit of a gamble.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Lush Cherry
A high-quality, surprisingly performant dupe that makes the coveted cherry DNA accessible to all. While some find it synthetic, the general consensus is that Lush Cherry nails the target without the eye-watering price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit

Purple Heart V 5

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its distinctive, heavy character and moderate to strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, where it might offend. However, the unique and alluring darkness, with its boozy and smoky nuances, positions it perfectly for dates and formal evening events, particularly in cooler weather. Its bold nature means it's not a casual everyday scent for most.
