Amethyst Soul is absolutely gorgeous - a rich, creamy white floral built not only around Tuberose, but also Jasmine, with a beautiful fruity twist. I’m a huge fan of Peach and Apricot, and now I can say I’ve fallen in love with Passion fruit as well. It works wonderfully alongside those two fruits and pairs especially well with white florals.
Not long ago, I bought
Queen of Silk after initially struggling with my sample, only to later fall deeply in love with it. That fragrance features Osmanthus, with its Apricot-like aroma, combined with Passion fruit and white florals. In
Amethyst Soul , we get Peach and Passion fruit instead. I have to say that after the initial surprise, I became just as addicted to Amethyst Soul as I am to Queen of Silk.
That said,
Amethyst Soul is clearly the easier scent. It’s not as complex as
Queen of Silk , but they definitely share the same DNA, they feel like sisters. Queen of Silk is the dignified, boastful, and somewhat difficult older sister, while Amethyst Soul is the gentler, kinder younger sister, shining with a more innocent charm.
The peach and passion fruit here are not juicy in a mouthwatering way, but rather resemble a thick nectar made from ripe fruits, with creamy white flowers dipped into it. The base is gentle and restrained: it doesn’t introduce heavy ambery tones, and amber doesn’t play the prominent role it does in fragrances like
Topaz Glamour or
Opal Secret . The vanilla is not overly sweet - it softens the blend beautifully and gives the scent a polished feel. The composition is fairly linear, but like all perfumes from this new house, it is very long-lasting. You can still smell it clearly the next day, even on skin.
If you’ve tried
Queen of Silk and found it too heavy because of Patchouli, Oud, Myrrh, and Frankincense, I highly recommend giving
Amethyst Soul a try if you have the opportunity. If you truly love white florals with fruity nuances, I would even go so far as to call this a safe blind buy.
Amethyst Soul doesn’t have the very distinctive DNA of "The Fragrance" house, and that’s precisely why I feel comfortable saying this.
I wasn’t prepared to want another white floral in my collection, especially since I’ve had issues with Tuberose for about half a year now. At first, I thought it was due to the strength of the tuberose note or the overall intensity of such fragrances, but I was wrong. Because of that, I genuinely believed
Amethyst Soul would be my least favorite from this house. Instead, it turned out to be my favorite. I really need a bottle of this gem. EDIT: Finally I have a full bottle.
