Black Amethyst (for women)

BluDreamer7806

Black Amethyst by Bath & Body Works is such a surprisingly beautiful fragrance. I just tried it for the first time today. With a name like "BLACK AMETHYST", I was expecting to smell something spicy, dark and sexy, but what I got when I sprayed this perfume upon my skin was nothing like that. The opening was like drinking a glass of pink lemonade. I definitely smelled the fruits, but the fruits are subtle in this scent. After the fruits faded, I recieved a heavenly dose of florals, and when I say heavenly, I mean heavenly. Smelling this fragrance made me love floral scents even more than I already do. The peonies, magnolias, and freesia are like bathing in a stream of warm, flowery sunshine. Absolutely breathtaking! Then as this fragrance dries down it becomes creamy and musky. The vanilla turns to velvety petals of camelia while the patchouli and sandalwood sweetens the intensity of this perfume. I think you could wear this perfume in the spring, summer and fall. It's really, really beautiful and sensual.

I love this scent. It's pretty complex for a Bath and Body Works scent. I love the vetiver in this. I don't sense the sweet topnotes in this either. It seems to go right into the heart of camelia and the sexy patchouli and musk. I can imagine this being perfectly packaged in a bottle covered with lace, or maybe stretchy black fishnet. It's very dark and almost gothic feeling.

Thanks to Belle de Sud, this fragrance joined my perfume collection! Why I liked it? First of all, it is very juicy and fruity, delicious and thick like a freshly made fruit juice with pulp. Still it is not fresh or airy. On contrary - this fragrance has a rich fruity sweetness mixed with woody and musky notes, which makes it a beautiful fragrance!

It's true that Black Amethyst is similar to Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle EDP, but I find it more edible and softer than Coco. Love it!!

The staying power is very good on my skin.

BBW is getting more sophisticated with their scents. If you previously wrote them off because you were tired of their simple single note florals or fruity scents, Black Amethyst will be quite a surprise.

I didn't get a lot of the sweet top notes. It turned immediately to a sexy, sophisticated floriental with a hint of spice. This would be a perfect evening scent for your wintertime holiday parties. Toned down a spritz or two, it's probably okay for the office, too.

i tested it in the store and loved the top notes, and bought it. Now I"m regretting :(... It really is too strong and flat. It does mellow down later but I'm still gonna pass it on as a gift ;).

Me encantaria poder usar esta fragancia pero es demasiado fuerte para mi !!!, cada vez que uso el body lotion me mareo , a pesar de eso estoy de acuerdo con las demas opiniones es definitivamente una fragancia muy sofisticada

I like this. It could be uni-sex but I doubt my husband would wear this. I think this smells like a knock-off of Tom Ford's 'Black Orchid'. I think BBW did a better job at designing the bottle than previous ones. The cost for this is more because there is more ounces. Initial spray is a mix of the fruits and flowers then, that quickly dissapears and you get the heavy patchouli and vetiver. I would wear it.
