Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amethyst Eau de Parfum

This one's a wildcard. If you're after 'juicy' berries, look elsewhere - Amethyst delivers a fresh, green, and often soapy berry experience. It's a divisive scent; some find it a unique masterpiece, others call it a scrubber. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing.

Our Verdict - Ode à l'amour Eau de Parfum

This early 00s fruity-woody scent is a divisive one. Some find the combination of dark fruits and warm amber intoxicating, while others find it cloyingly sweet and even nauseating. Definitely test before you commit, if you can find it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amethyst Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its fresh, clean, and often 'shampoo-like' quality makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially given its moderate sillage. However, some find its unique green and peppery notes too challenging for formal or romantic settings. Performance is variable, with many noting poor longevity, reducing its suitability for occasions requiring sustained presence.

Ode à l'amour Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

While some found it suitable for the office with light application, the strong fruity and sweet accords, coupled with its potential for being overpowering, make it better suited for dates or casual wear. It's too heavy for sport and a bit too playful for most formal events.
