What do reviewers say about Amethyst Haze and Orchid K?
Amethyst Haze is warm. Not heavy, warm the way a cashmere throw is warm. The kind of scent a room remembers, not announces. There's an immediacy to the opening, that lavender brightness hitting first.Amethyst Haze
Ambroxan is the divide here. Some find it screechy, others find it the whole point. But for those who click with it, the 8-10 hour drydown and intimate sillage make it worth the risk. Test first.Orchid K
