Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rumeur Eau de Parfum
This one's proper divisive. For some, it's a classy, clean floral, but for others, it's a harsh, old-fashioned nightmare of nail polish remover. Try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - Purple Amethyst Eau de Parfum
Seriously divisive, Armaf's Purple Amethyst is either a sophisticated, clean floral or a cheap, soapy mess. Many find the rose-iris combo overwhelming and feminine, making it a tricky wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rumeur Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its strong projection and longevity make it a bit much for casual or office wear, though some find it acceptable in controlled sprays. The unique, often vintage-leaning floral musk makes it suitable for formal events and romantic evenings where a statement is desired.

Purple Amethyst Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its delicate sillage and clean, soapy character make it suitable for office and casual wear, even the gym, as some reviewers suggest. It might not stand out for formal events due to its perceived lack of 'oomph' or for dates if strong projection is desired.
