IQOS TEREA Purple Wave Menthol ITALY

Italian Purple Wave brings berry together with a menthol wave, the cooling building through the stick rather than arriving at once. 215 AED.

How the wave works

Dark berry leads. Menthol comes up behind it and strengthens towards the end, which is what the name describes and what genuinely happens in the draw.

Drier than the Indonesian version, sweeter than the Japanese berry sticks.

Purple Wave in four markets

Indonesia is fullest and sweetest. Kyrgyzstan costs 145 and sits close to this one. Switzerland is drier again.

Italy lands in the middle on both sweetness and price.

Device compatibility

Induction only. ILUMA, ILUMA i and the Lambda i8 all work; the 3 DUO and anything before it do not. The full explanation.

Questions about this variant

What does wave mean in the name?

The menthol builds through the stick rather than being present at full strength from the first puff. It is a genuine description of how it smokes.

Is the Italian version sweeter than the Japanese?

Slightly. Japan's Purple Menthol is the driest berry stick we carry; Indonesia's is the sweetest, and Italy sits between them.
