What does Black Amethyst (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Tangerine, mandarin orange, orange and bergamot give a bright opening, softened by melon and fruity notes. The heart leads with gardenia, tuberose, magnolia and peony, with a green, powdery feel. In the base, vanilla and musk keep the sweetness going, while vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli add a woody, earthy depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few have voted. The fresh, sweet build suits daytime and milder weather, and it reads feminine. Dior Tendre Poison (Eau de Toilette) and Oscar de la Renta Volupté (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
