Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Violet EDP
This limited-edition Marc Jacobs gem is a captivating sweet violet dream. It's a powdery, creamy vanilla-violet blend that many adore, though some find it a little too saccharine or reminiscent of baby shampoo. A well-loved, gently sweet-talker.

Our Verdict - Purple Colour For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Violet MJ - a floral fragrance led by Kumquat, Apple, Bergamot, with fruity depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.
