Bella Swan

Quite sweet and woody simple smell but not boring one. Don't know why but I do smell strawberries a bit, but a lot the iris and the amber gives it the woody darker feeling. Not in bad way but it smells bit like dentist waitroom (but maybe my dentist uses this fragrance who knows). Not sure how much I am affected by the bottle but it is a bit grungey even thought it is sweet and it is not goth smelling, but there's something dark in it. As visual for it I see Bella Swan, she would wear this but it still wouldn't hid her skin scent a.k.a. personal brand of heroin.

Essential balsamic

Over the last dozen or so years, Oriflame has released three absolutely phenomenal women's fragrances. These are Mirage, Marcel and Amethyst Fatale. The withdrawal of all three is certainly a great loss for perfumery, because they were phenomenal fragrances not only in the mass market segment, they were the art of perfumery of the highest order.
Amethyst Fatale was the first of the big three, the creator of the fragrance was Francis Kurkdjian. He created an extremely essential, balsamic fragrance in which the main roles are played by the collaboration of the iris-rose duo, the rest of the ingredients are subordinated to these two, but also noticeable, especially in the later development of the composition.
I have the impression that the author was somehow inspired by the great work of Lalique Perles (Amethyst Fatale was published a year after the premiere of Perles). During the first few hours, you can feel the great similarity between these fragrances, mainly due to the same rose in both perfumes - cellar, smoky, dark, mysterious - accompanied by iris. However, Pearls are a cold and raw scent, while Amethyst Fatale is warm, passionate, intoxicating and sweet.
The beginning of the composition is a strong woody hit of powdery rose, delicately spiced with pepper and red fruits, and then for the next 3-4 hours we have a beautiful rose-iris concert delicately sweetened with sandalwood, the powderiness of the iris softens with time and we feel a delicious rose jam.
After about 4 hours, the scent softens slightly, the rose and iris recede and a wonderfully creamy, balsamic base emerges. A musky-amber base with slightly chocolate patchouli and a vanilla aftertaste, and it lasts for a good few hours.
The parameters on my skin are really great, initially the projection is very high, after about 2 hours it becomes moderate and the scent is very noticeable for about 7 hours. However, when applied close to the skin, it stays on the skin all day long. The purple color perfectly matches the mysterious aura of the fragrance.
Amethyst fatale is a strong and expressive fragrance, mysterious and disturbing, in my opinion even slightly unisex, despite the powderiness of iris and feminine rose, it has some masculine element.
If you have the opportunity, test it because it's worth it!

But chypre

It was a blink of an eye, and it couldn't have been any other way.
Played with; appearance, name of the crystal, creator.
I was a bit scared because I thought the Kurkdjian Le Male's and MaDame had his signature, which is recognizable as musk (to me), and I thought he had mixed in just a drop here, but it’s not present.
The top is not so noble...Iris, yes as the dominant note, but I mean there is much more in it than is published, so it smells of iris, roses, and violets on the edge of a forest...a bit dark, I could even imagine vetiver.
This lasts for several hours, and then it becomes a very cool chypre scent with a lot of amber and so much orchid, then probably patchouli and cedar, something like typical mixed modern chypre perfumes. Quite elegant and lasting.
A few nice words about a low-budget scent, but I can't keep my mouth shut and say that it is almost unjustly cheap, and for example, APOM is expensive.
Really good quality and currently for me with no similar, original, aesthetic.
