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.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it a bit much for the office but perfect for dates or evening casual wear. The sweet, warm profile suits autumn nights and could be elegant enough for some formal events, though it's too heavy 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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Limonene from Orange
  • 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

Amethyst opens with a burst of zesty orange and a subtle hint of spicy pink pepper, quickly ushering in a warm, comforting almond note. The heart unfolds with a creamy blend of heliotrope, jasmine, and rose, adding a soft, floral sweetness. As it dries down, a rich base of vanilla and amber emerges, intertwined with a gentle musk, creating a delectable and enduring trail.
