Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amethyst Exquise
A divisive sister to the original Amethyst, this 'night elixir' pushes berries into boozy, syrupy territory. Expect rich fruit, but be warned, some noses find the opening a bit rough around the edges.

Our Verdict - Cassandra Rose Rouge
This budget-friendly dupe for Si Passione is a mixed bag: some rave about its fresh, clean scent and uncanny resemblance to its high-end counterpart, while others lament its vanishingly poor longevity and sillage. Don't expect a strong rose, but do expect a delicate, fruity-vanilla comfort scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amethyst Exquise

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and syrupy sweetness make it less suitable for office wear, but ideal for dates and evening events. The rich, dark berry and woody accords lend themselves well to cooler weather and dressier occasions.

Cassandra Rose Rouge

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its poor longevity and sillage make it unsuitable for formal events or dates where projection is desired. However, its clean, subtle nature makes it perfect for casual wear, errands, and even the office where an intimate scent bubble is preferred.
