What do reviewers say about Amethyst and Potion Arsenic?
This is a berry-forward floral that plays it safe but executes well. The opening is punchy, the heart fades quickly, but that bourbon vanilla drydown saves it from being forgettable.Amethyst
The sweet-tobacco drydown is where this fragrance earns its keep. If you've been searching for that particular combination, warm, resinous, with just enough edge to stay interesting, this is it.Potion Arsenic
