Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amethyst EDP
This is a gorgeous, rich amber-vanilla that's often compared to other popular gourmands, but a common complaint about its price tag and inconsistent performance means it won’t be for everyone. If you’re minted and want to smell delicious, this is it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Marienbad EDP
Marienbad by Prada is a luxurious unisex fragrance balancing warm leather notes with a rich amber heart, suitable for cooler weather and intimate settings.

Amethyst

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
