Our verdict on Dark Purple: Acquired

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.

About

Dark Purple kicks off with a bold, juicy blast of plum and orange, mingling with tangy red berries. This fruity prelude quickly gives way to a dominant, often described as 'jammy,' rose, underpinned by green geranium and earthy patchouli. As it settles, a woody base of teak, musk, and warm amber emerges, adding a sensual depth that lingers for ages. It's a rich, deep purple scent, undoubtedly.
