Violet Leather EDP

Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent. Some find Cuir Amethyste's violet-leather combo divine, a "holy grail" of elegance and sensuality. Others recoil from a "chemical soup," or a "wet animal hide" with cloying sweetness. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions.
A wallet-friendly nod to Armani Prive Cuir Amethyste. The candied-violet heart and powdery sweetness come through, but the buried leather and refined depth flatten out - you get the purple jelly-bean opening without the long luminous trail.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and distinctive, alluring character, Cuir Amethyste is best suited for evening and formal events, though some find it acceptable for special office wear. Its depth and richness make it too imposing for casual or sport settings.
Seasons
The powdery violet and warm resinous base suit cooler autumn and winter wear, with enough lightness to carry into spring.
Occasions
Soft, romantic and a touch dressy - it shines on dates and formal evenings rather than the office or gym.
