Amethyst

I think this is a fantastic perfume. from the start the phenomenal rose-oud duo explodes right in your face and keeps doing that. other specific notes I can pick out are definitely the pink pepper, which acts almost as a super strong saffron. the similarity with montale immediately came up and where I like, love, ALL montales oud-roses it is not difficult to see that I love this perfume too. there is real oud in it. only if you sniff your pulse right away you smell as well a band-aid note, gasoline, a barnyard note and rubber. when however you let the beam (this isn't a sillage anymore), the superbeam project almost horizontally from off and up your pulse right into your nostrils and cranium, it gets a very chic total radiation of this rose-oud mixxology with pepper and I guess jasmin, amber and vanilla acting in a supportive amberish ground for the two rebels. especially the two negative reviews (at which I had to laugh very very loud) made me race to (I think it was the notino website). the two reviews of the angry guy who had a mitraillistic aubade of rage against anyone who would buy, wear or smell like this perfume. such deep hate for me always work as a sign to have the perfume. and the lady who wrote that on a given moment it seemed she was locked in a purple painted room and couldn't get out anymore. these two reviews were so good. (other) only now this perfume came fully into its own right. I had two flacons, the first I gave away to my Straight Twinbrother, not because I disliked it. yet what now becomes clearer, is my newly gained capability to smell fruits ... [after 50 years of 'Perfumery', 1974-2026] and here I can discern the Bergamot & Pink Pepper clearly. Notes which merely always flew me by. then [this second Flacon, bc I missed this perfume when away] seemed to be inhabited with a 'softer' yet at the same time sufficiently abrasive Vibe, where I can smell the quality of the used Turkish & Bulgarian Roses and at once, the slightly Medicinal, Band-Aid, Rubbery Oud which also introduces a Sharp Saffron note, or so it feels. the Jasmine & Vanilla give the Floralcy a more Opulent Character while the Amber fills out the Basic Fight-Danse between Oud & Rose. a Brilliant Perfume. the notion of Dupe-Perfume never crosses my mind. it is a great perfume in a fully own Athmosphere .
