Bath & Body Works Black Amethyst is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008. Black Amethyst opens with Fruity Notes, Bergamot, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Magnolia, Lily of the Valley, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Bath & Body Works's Black Amethyst carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This is Bath & Body Works' surprising take on high-end sophistication, a polarizing scent that nails the dark, mysterious brief for some but overwhelms with patchouli for others. If you crave an affordable dupe for Coco Mademoiselle with a unique twist, this is worth hunting down.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sophisticated, heavy, and long-lasting character makes it ideal for evenings, dates, and formal events where you want to make an impression. It's too bold and potentially 'overwhelming' for office wear, and certainly not suitable for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Black Amethyst opens with a burst of juicy citrus and melon, quickly deepening into a rich, heady bouquet of white florals like tuberose and gardenia. It then settles into a dark, earthy base where prominent patchouli and vetiver are softened by creamy musk and a touch of vanilla, creating a velvety, woody aura that's both elegant and robust.
