Purpose by Amouage is a spiced, woody scent with some grit. It dates from 2023 and is worn mostly by men. Pimento, black pepper and pink pepper crackle over bergamot, while olibanum adds a resinous lift. Vetiver, papyrus, sandalwood and rose form a dry, slightly green heart. The base turns dark and leathery with akigalawood, saffron, suede and mystikal, leaving a warm, earthy weight. Woody, warm spicy and amber in character, with touches of oud and leather, it is for anyone who likes their spice serious. Voters reach for it in autumn and winter, for evenings and late nights, and it is made for going out. Most wearers vote it long-lasting and its sillage strong, so a couple of sprays go a long way. A 3ml decant and a cold-weather week will tell you if you need more.

The community verdict
Purpose moves from pimento, bergamot and olibanum into vetiver and papyrus, then settles on saffron and suede. Most find it long-lasting with strong projection. Its woody spice fits winter nights out, with autumn and evenings working too; it has a bold feel for anyone who likes a substantial scent.
