Amethyst is a juicy, berry-forward fruity-floral by Nathalie Lorson, opening with a jammy blend of blackcurrant and blackberry before settling into peony and rose warmed by vanilla and musk. Named for the purple gem central to the brand's crystal heritage, it became one of Lalique's best-selling women's fragrances and spawned several flankers.
