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 - Safari Cherry
If Tom Ford's Lost Cherry got a boozy, ambery, woody makeover, you'd get Safari Cherry. It's a sweet, spicy, and utterly addictive scent that's definitely not for ingénues.

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.

Safari Cherry

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The rich, warm, and somewhat heavy profile of this fragrance makes it an excellent choice for dates or evening formal events. Its bold projection and sweet depth might be a bit much for a typical office setting or casual daytime wear.
