Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Si EDT
This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.

Our Verdict - Purple Accento EDP
If you missed out on Erba Pura, or just fancy a softer, warmer take on that fruity-musk DNA, Purple Accento is your sophisticated second chance. It's a crowd-pleaser for sure, though some might find it a bit too close to its famous sibling.

Season and Occasion Fit

Si

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its lighter nature and moderate strength make it suitable for office wear and casual outings without being overwhelming. While it can be worn on dates, some find it lacks the gravitas for formal events, preferring a bolder scent.

Purple Accento

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong projection and longevity, a little goes a long way, making it perhaps too assertive for a cramped office but perfect for dates or evening casual wear. The blend of fresh fruit with deeper oud and amber allows it versatility for both day and night events, leaning away from sport due to its rich, luxurious feel.
