Avon Rare Amethyst is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Rare Amethyst opens with Plum, settles into a heart of Violet, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Avon's Rare Amethyst carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a divisive 'love it or hate it' from Avon, but those who love it are absolutely obsessed. Expect a plum-heavy, boldly 'purple' scent that's either a fruity delight or a boozy disappointment.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With moderate longevity and sillage, Rare Amethyst is versatile, but its 'boozy plum' and sensual violet notes make it particularly suitable for dates and evening wear. Some find it office-appropriate due to its balanced projection, while others note its strong opening might be too much for enclosed spaces.

About

Rare Amethyst opens with a juicy, almost boozy plum that’s unequivocally dark and rich. This bold fruitiness then settles into a powdery violet heart, softening the initial tartness. The dry down is a warm, creamy sandalwood, providing a smooth base that lingers on the skin, offering a touch of sophistication to the vibrant purple core.
