Oriflame Amethyst Fatale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Amethyst Fatale opens with Red Fruits, Rosewood, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Oriflame's Amethyst Fatale carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

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:
Fall Winter

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

Best 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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Amethyst Fatale opens with an almost piquant burst of pepper and red berries, softened by the woody-sweet touch of rosewood. This gives way to a sophisticated heart, where powdery iris and a dark, seductive rose entwine with creamy sandalwood. The lasting impression is a rich, warm drydown of amber and benzoin, deepened by earthy patchouli and a gentle musk, creating a dense, alluring aura.
