The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 and created by Nathalie Lorson, Amethyst is a Floral Fruity fragrance that immediately captures attention with its tart blackcurrant and blackberry opening. This fruity burst sets the tone for a composition that balances sweetness and warmth through notes of rose, ylang-ylang, and woody accords. While it has been praised for its distinctive fruity start, many reviewers have noted its limited longevity, lasting only a few hours before fading.
Given its short longevity, apply Amethyst frequently throughout the day to maintain its fruity freshness. It pairs well with a light layering of vanilla-scented lotion for a more lasting effect.
