About

Amethyst Flower is a fantasy floral note, not a distilled material. Both reachable glossaries say the same thing: it is a perfumer's construct built from violet, iris and floral-woody synthetics, named for the gemstone and tuned to smell cool, powdery and mineral. The plant Browallia is attached to the name by some sources, but no headspace study of that plant was found.

Scent Profile

Floral leads and it is the one thing both sources agree on without qualification: Premiere Peau gives 'Soft, floral aroma, fresh and slightly sweet' and Mimya gives 'an exotic floral note'. It is not higher because neither source pushes the flower to heady. Powdery is the second lead and it is the more specific claim of the two: both sources independently name a 'cool, powdery' impression and both trace it to the same construction, 'a blend of violet, iris, and floral-woody synthetics'. That compositional line is an odour claim, and a violet-iris accord is powdery by definition. White_floral comes from one source only, 'likened to a blend of jasmine and gardenia', with 'bright white floral facets'. It is kept below the violet-iris reading because the same page contradicts itself elsewhere and because Premiere Peau, describing the same note, never reaches for jasmine or gardenia at all. Its spread of 0.25 is the widest in the vector and records that disagreement. Mineral rests on 'mineral, cool, faintly violet' from one source and 'cool, powdery, and mineral impression' from the other, so two sources, same word, no elaboration. Green is the 'light green, foliage undertone' both sources mention, an undertone in both, never a lead.

Origin

Synthetic. A reconstructed accord with no single botanical source. Both sources describe it as built from violet, iris and floral-woody synthetics, sometimes with headspace work on Browallia cited as the starting idea.

Usage in Perfumery

Rare. One Fragrantica listing and no Parfumo listings. Used for a cool, gemstone-toned floral in modern compositions, and said to pair with citrus, green notes, sandalwood and musk.
