Cherigan The Purple Bar is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021. The Purple Bar opens with Davana, Candied Fruits, Orange, and Almond, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Clove, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Cherigan's The Purple Bar carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a wonderfully complex, unique journey. For others, it's a cheap Christmas potpourri. You'll need to try it to see where you land - but be warned, opinion is sharply divided.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine stepping into a dimly lit, opulent bar, where the air is thick with the scent of spiced confections and exotic resins. Candied fruits and bright orange burst forth, quickly settling into a warm, inviting heart of rich vanilla, resinous benzoin, and a generous dusting of cinnamon and clove. A boozy davana note mingles with earthy patchouli, creating a dark, intriguing depth, while a hint of almond adds a luxurious, gourmand twist. It's decadent and complex, a true sensory overload.
