Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Purple Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like a marmite sandwich. Those who love it revel in its beast-mode plum and rose, while detractors recoil from its synthetic, metallic edge. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - Le de Therese Parfum
This legendary scent is divisive, adored by those who appreciate its complex, 'old-world' charm, but scorned by others as dated or even sickly. Definitely not a blind buy, but if it clicks, expect a sophisticated and unique experience.

Season and Occasion Fit

Dark Purple Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its beast-mode projection and longevity make it far too potent for the office, risking headaches for colleagues. It truly shines on a date or formal evening occasion, where its sophisticated and sensual character can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.

Le de Therese Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sophisticated and unique profile, with decent longevity but discreet sillage, makes it suitable for dates and formal events. While some find it too strong for everyday office wear, its elegant character allows for casual use in moderation. The rich, complex notes are entirely unsuitable for sport.
