Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Purple Amethyst EDP
Seriously divisive, Armaf's Purple Amethyst is either a sophisticated, clean floral or a cheap, soapy mess. Many find the rose-iris combo overwhelming and feminine, making it a tricky wear.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Forbidden Euphoria EDP
A flanker that carved its own path, Forbidden Euphoria isn't just a lighter version of the original. It's a fruity-floral powerhouse, seductive yet playful, and surprisingly versatile. Some call it an ice cream scent for teens, others a romantic grown-up choice, making it one of those "try before you buy" numbers. Definitely divisive, but loved by many for its unique charm.

Season and Occasion Fit

Purple Amethyst

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its delicate sillage and clean, soapy character make it suitable for office and casual wear, even the gym, as some reviewers suggest. It might not stand out for formal events due to its perceived lack of 'oomph' or for dates if strong projection is desired.

Forbidden Euphoria

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With strong sillage and good longevity reported by many, this scent leans away from office wear. Its sweet and sensual nature, combined with a 'night scent' vibe from reviews, makes it ideal for dates and evening casual outings, though some find it too sweet for formal events.
