Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Purple Flowers Eau de Parfum

This polarizing Mancera scent is a bold, long-lasting declaration. Some find it a 'rose-patchouli atomic bomb' or a 'thick and awful' granny smell, while others adore its 'slinky, secretive' charm and 'fabulous' performance. Definitely not one for a blind buy.

Our Verdict - 1001 Parfum

This isn't your average 'Oriental' fragrance. Nobile 1942's 1001 is a divisive scent: some find it a sublime, elegant spicy-woody blend, while others are put off by dominant, realistic turmeric and ginger that can smell a bit like savoury cooking spices or even soap. Definitely one to sample first.

Purple Flowers Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection, often described as a 'nuclear beast', make it less suitable for office wear where discretion is key. The intense rose and woody-spicy accords lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though it's still wearable casually by those who prefer a statement scent.

Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and intriguing, subtle warmth make it suitable for date nights and formal events, creating a captivating aura without overwhelming. While some find it too intimate for the price due to lower longevity, others report solid projection, making it adaptable. It's less ideal for office due to the unique spice profile that might be polarising, and certainly not for sport.
