Amethyst Lalique 2007

But it wasn't because of the perfume itself. I ordered Amethyst for the first time in August 2019. The fragrance itself thrilled me, but the durability was so subterranean, it barely lasted 2 hours on me, that this negativity affected my previous pure fragrance rating and it only got a 7.5. I may have to revise my statement from back then. In any case, the bottle ran out pretty quickly. I chopped it off as having had it once, quite a nice, unsweet bromine) berry) scent, but far too fleeting. I tested Meliora in September last year and fell head over heels in love and yes, they are sisters. As everyone here probably knows, they come from the same perfumer who, 5 years after Amethyst's release, created more or less the same fragrance for PDM that is now known as Meliora. But I don't have to tell you, my environment likes to hear the story from me :) So, I digress...
Meliora gave me a different perspective on Amethyst and I ordered it again in January this year as an additional cheap alternative and had it ripened. What can I say? I love it, it's perfect just the way it is. Amethyst is Meliora in a calmer, more grounded and a touch more floral. Meliora also has a beautiful jasmine note. Amethyst is incredibly graceful, soft, fruity, but in an unsweetened way. In my opinion, it is the perfect fragrance in the overall package, but not for gourmand junkies or fruit lovers, but for everyone without exception. Also suitable for those who don't like it too perfumey. For berry lovers and berry haters alike. Nothing stings here, it refreshes and is simply there. The fact that it is quite close to the body contributes a lot to this pleasant effect. However, the longevity is enormous compared to my first Amethyst. I perceive it to last 8 hours. Nevertheless, my bottle is already half empty, because it is one of those candidates that you absolutely cannot over-spray. It is my creativity booster. Whenever I wore it, I had the impression that I always managed to do things particularly well, no matter in which area. So it has become my lucky fragrance and could be the perfect candidate for my stage fragrance. But I can't bring myself to replace my beloved Delina with something else on stage.
A backup bottle of Amethyst arrived the day before yesterday. I buy perfumes occasionally, but never when a bottle has not yet run out. I don't want to be without this perfume anymore. It's now in the cupboard and is allowed to mature as a precaution. A couple of friends who tested Meliora on my recommendation and who, like me, are blessed with synaesthesia, later told me more or less in chorus that they could smell my voice in it, and yes, I can feel a couple of aspects, even more so with Amethyst. Maybe that's one of the reasons why she suits me so well, because I see a lot of myself in her.
