Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet undeniably potent rose-incense powerhouse, Porpora is an 'of-its-kind' statement. Some say it's an improved version of a well-known classic, others a 'loud and obnoxious' imitation. Either way, expect to be noticed.
A budget echo of Tiziana Terenzi's Porpora, Purple rebuilds the spiced raspberry-and-rose opening over a warm amber, incense and myrrh base. It captures the commanding, sensual character but the resinous depth reads simpler and the longevity falls well short of the original extrait.
