What does Amethyst smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and work are the occasions named most often, and it gets some votes for evenings and nights out too. Most voters call it feminine, and many also find it modern.

It opens with currant, mulberry, strawberry and blackberry, a fresh, sweet fruit accent. The heart of peony, ylang-ylang and rose adds a soft floral side. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, musk and woods sweeten it and leave a woody, powdery finish.
