What does Armani Privé - Cuir Améthyste smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. Evening and night out are the favoured occasions. Voters lean slightly feminine, though a good share call it masculine, which fits its unisex label.

The top notes of coriander, candied rose and bergamot open with a floral, fruity sweetness. In the heart, silver birch, patchouli and violet build a powdery, woody backdrop. The base of benzoin, vanilla and labdanum leaves a warm, resinous sweetness.
