What does Nirvana Amethyst smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out, with leisure wear close behind. It reads mostly as feminine, though some voters call it classic.

As a whole it is floral and sweet, with spicy and smoky touches that add a warm, slightly dark edge. Honeysuckle carries the floral side, while tobacco and cedarwood form a dry, woody base. Lush Lush x Lazy and Zara 430 Blue have a close profile if you want to compare.
