Judith Leiber Amethyst is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Amethyst opens with Bergamot, Raspberry, Blackberry, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Linden Tree, Magnolia, Lily of the Valley, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Amber. Judith Leiber's Amethyst carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive, underperforming, and rather generic - Amethyst tries to be a sophisticated berry scent but often comes across as a 'sweet nothing'. Its performance issues are a constant complaint.

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.

Its moderate longevity and low sillage make it suitable for casual wear and less intrusive environments like the office. It's not bold or strong enough for formal events or a standout date night, but the fresh, clean character works for daytime activities.

About

Amethyst opens with a tart burst of blackberry, raspberry, and a hint of exotic litchi, immediately setting a fruity, vibrant tone. As it settles, a soft floral heart emerges, blending magnolia, linden blossom, and a subtle lily of the valley for a clean, slightly soapy freshness. The dry down introduces a gentle warmth of woody notes, musk, and amber, anchoring the fruit and florals without overwhelming them, creating a smooth skin scent.
