After Rock Crystal, Olivier Durbano create an other fragrance inspired by Amethyst. The Amethyst which was considered for a long time like one of the most precious stones due to its purple, lilac, or mauve color, derives its name from the Greek "Amethustos" which means "protects against inebriety". In the Antiquity, the amethyst was considered to be a talisman against drunkenness and a protection against poison and ill fate. It was a symbol of self-effacement, inner peace, and temperance but was also associated with the purifying force of the spirit. Mythology has it that the Greeks used cups made of amethyst in order to protect themselves against the excesses of alcohol yet water poured in those cups made out of amethyst took on the color of wine. The Eau de Parfum Amethyste also belongs to the family of spicy woody perfumes; a perfume that is mysterious and powdery, protective and fruity, like a resuscitated secret. Top notes (hesperidic, spicy, fruity): bergamot, pepper, grape, raspberry Middle notes (woody floral): incense, rosewood, jasmine, orris Base notes (woody, musky, vanillic): vegetable amber, sandalwood, musk, vanilla. The fragrance was introduced in 2006.
