A skin scent. Unremarkable on many levels

I was excited to try this. Especially looking at the notes and reading some of the reviews on here. I bought a 5ml sample from a reputable trader in the UK, who I have been using for years.

It is sweet in the opening with a slight woody background. The leather is very weak, I like a leather fragrance to smell of leather. I don't find it ambery at all.

I was looking for something new to add to my luxury wardrobe, unfortunately this will not be it.

Plum with a Hint of Damson

PREMIERE! For the very first time, I can’t smell anything, absolutely NOTHING, from the fragrance pyramid.
Rather, I don’t smell ANY OF IT, and HOW CAN ONE possibly photograph a half-full Boadi bottle.

That’s about as ridiculous as washing off a 450 Euro Pryn, or parking illegally, or not giving a presentation on lavender, or forgetting Magenta samples, or putting centrifuges in the dishwasher, or loudly announcing your PIN at the bank counter, or binge-watching Rick & Morty without sound, or misplacing lipsticks, or doing wellness BEFORE it gets exhausting, or letting others do the catering while you have better things to do, like hanging out in front of parking garages in medium-sized small towns, where cyclists quickly have a fifty in their pocket to avoid bigger damages, and nerdy Sherlocks recognize numerical sequences; or simply not taking their medications on time, or at all.

Smells like damson.
With a hint of plum.

sharp plum cake

Thanks to our dear Seraphima (Thank you my darling!), I had the pleasure of testing this exclusive and limited fragrance.

From the very first second, the cinnamon is very present. Often, the cinnamon note becomes piercingly sharp for me, but that is not the case here.

Cinnamon, leather, and wood start a lively trio on my arm. Things are really heating up. Even though I only took one spray, half the house smells of Amethyst, and it is also well perceived in the garden despite a few meters of distance.

Leather and wood do not have as much endurance as the cinnamon and need a breather. Meanwhile, amber and a little plum continue to play with the cinnamon. The lively trio has now turned into a lively quintet. The pepper seems to have stayed home and didn’t want to join the party.

Overall, the fragrance is truly wonderfully balanced and terribly delicious - like hot plum cake.

Thus, the beautiful amethyst-colored bottle fits perfectly with this gourmand scent.

If it weren't so exclusive, I would have already rushed to the next perfumery I trust...

Flickering Claim to Existence

Well, yes. If you focus on a few fragrance directions, you shouldn't indulge in the hope of encountering new revelations every day. But with my favorite brand, I am naturally a bit more generous.

At first, "Amathyst" reminded me of Hero and Vanquish from the same house. However, after a few minutes, a difference emerges. Unfortunately, it's rather negative, at least for someone like me who tends to live "on the dark side of the scent." What was already borderline in terms of the sweetness of dry woods with Hero, this fragrance crosses into gourmand territory. I can't really imagine the cinnamon for this "weakness" I attribute to it, but a sweet amber that is supposed to be present here seems more plausible. My suspicion was confirmed over time. Where the black pepper is supposed to be is a mystery to me. It may have been briefly in the air in the first milliseconds after activating the spray head and provided a really sharp breeze during the first inhalation. But by the second breath through the nose, there was nothing left of it. Unfortunately, from my perspective.

A positive counterpoint for me is the leather, which appears here in a fresh, thankfully not sour variant. Neither too dark nor too light. That fits overall.

And so it wavers between these two poles (light amber - medium leather). Unfortunately, the whole thing remains very close to the skin.

"Amathyst" is by no means a bad fragrance. But those who have recently engaged extensively with the not-so-few BtV new releases might also come to the idea that here a "by-product" is being draped with the cloak of exclusivity and limited edition. However, I also don't know if one should expect more given the resulting and foreseeable low demand / sales. From my subjective point of view, this artificial scarcity is a questionable distribution model anyway.

In any case, I must thank the tireless Seraphima, who constantly puts herself at the service of this community, without whose "international connections" there would still be a gap here.
