Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amethyst Exquise Eau de Parfum

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 - 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 Exquise Eau de Parfum

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.

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.
