Which Should You Buy?
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.
A solid, budget-friendly alternative for Tom Ford Black Orchid fans, offering a similar dark, sweet, and sensual profile without breaking the bank. It's universally appealing but some might find it a bit too derivative.
