Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amethyst Fatale

A truly polarising scent: some rave about its mysterious allure, others find it heavy-handed and generic. Crafted by a master perfumer, this discontinued gem still sparks fervent debate and desire amongst those who remember its bold, bewitching character. If you can find a bottle, prepare for strong reactions.

Our Verdict - French Portrait

This is a seriously polarising scent, with fans raving about its quality and value, while some detractors find it cheap and animalic. If you're after a bold, long-lasting rose and incense bomb at a keen price, this could be your new signature, just sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amethyst Fatale

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its significant projection and longevity, combined with a rich, dark amber-woody profile, make it less suitable for office wear. However, these same qualities, particularly the mentioned "sexy" and "seductive" vibe, lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal evening events.

French Portrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, warm spicy and amber accords, make it less suitable for an office environment. However, these same characteristics, especially the mysterious rose and incense, make it ideal for romantic dates and formal evening events where it can truly shine.
