Perfume Parlour Violet Tag For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Violet Tag For Men opens with Mandarin, Coriander, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Sage, Thyme, and Tobacco Blossom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, and Mahogany. Perfume Parlour's Violet Tag For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A wallet-friendly clone of Ralph Lauren Purple Label. The dry, classy green-woody character lands well, and since the original is famous for poor longevity, this budget version actually closes much of the usual gap.

About

Violet Tag follows Ralph Lauren's refined Purple Label, opening with a tart blackberry, green coriander and mandarin that feels fresh and a touch fruity. A herbal heart of thyme, sage and tobacco blossom adds a sophisticated, dry-aromatic spine before the scent settles into mahogany, oakmoss and musk with a faint suede-leather impression. The original is prized for its elegant, woody-musky classiness but notoriously criticised for barely lasting two to three hours. This clone matches the dry green-woody signature closely; it skews a little simpler and the oakmoss reads slightly flatter, but with comparable two-to-four-hour wear it loses very little against an original already short on staying power, making it a smart-casual office and date scent at a fraction of the cost.
