A luminous pineapple and ice cream, mysterious incense and saffron, two roses from Bulgaria and Turkey, then dark oud softened by cocoa: Améthyste Noire is an oriental woody fragrance between shadow and light.
Améthyste Noire is the latest release from Kane Parfum, currently available for preorder. It tells the story of a rare haute couture leather, worked only by hand at night, embroidered with gold thread and small violet stones: black in the shadows, it reveals an amethyst shimmer in the light. Here is the complete portrait of this fragrance, note by note, along with our tips for wearing it. You can also reserve it directly on the Améthyste Noire product page.
The exact notes of Améthyste Noire
Here is the olfactory pyramid of Améthyste Noire, as shown on its product page:
- Top notes: Pineapple, Incense, Saffron, Ice cream, Bergamot
- Heart notes: Bulgarian Rose, Turkish Rose
- Base notes: Oud, Cocoa
The opening plays with contrast. Golden pineapple shines like a moon, ice cream melts gently, and bergamot brightens everything. At the same time, incense smoke and threads of saffron trace embroidery in the air. It is the light, just before night falls.
The heart brings together two roses, one from Bulgaria and the other from Turkey. The first is fresh and velvety, the second warmer and deeper. Together, they give the fragrance its elegance, like precious stones sewn into the heart of the piece.
The base is dark and enveloping: deep oud warmed by a touch of cocoa. Oud brings power and character, while cocoa rounds it out with a gourmand sweetness. This is the base that lingers on your skin all evening.
The character of Améthyste Noire
Améthyste Noire belongs to the oriental woody family. Its dominant accords are oud, rose, fruit, incense, spice and gourmand cocoa. This is a statement fragrance: people notice it and remember it, but pineapple, ice cream and roses keep it from feeling austere.
- Concentration: Extrait de parfum, more concentrated than eau de parfum
- Size: 50 ml bottle, made in Grasse
- Gender: Unisex, like all Kane fragrances
- Sillage: Powerful, 3 to 4 metres
- Longevity: 8 to 12 hours on skin
- Seasons: Autumn and winter; beautiful all year round in the evening
- Occasions: Evenings, nights out, special occasions
Unisex, Améthyste Noire can be worn on any skin. On some people, rose and cocoa take centre stage, making the fragrance feel more velvety; on others, oud and incense stand out, giving it a darker, woodier character.
When should you wear Améthyste Noire?
Améthyste Noire is an evening fragrance. Wear it to dinner, a party, a date or an event where you want to be remembered. In autumn and winter, its oud and roses come into their own in the cold air.
For the rest of the year, save it for nighttime: a summer evening on a terrace, a wedding or a night out. You can wear it during the day, too, in a very light dose—just one spray—but its powerful sillage makes it ideal for moments when you want to make an impression.
For special occasions, we recommend it for dinners, holiday celebrations, evenings out and as a gift: its story of couture and violet stones makes it a beautiful fragrance to give.
How to wear Améthyste Noire
Apply two sprays to your neck and one to your wrists, without rubbing. Pineapple, ice cream and bergamot open first, followed by incense and saffron, then the two roses bloom before oud and cocoa take over for the night.
- Keep the dose in check: With a sillage of 3 to 4 metres, three sprays are more than enough.
- Spray from the right distance: Apply from 10 or 15 cm away onto your pulse points.
- On fabrics: One spray on a coat or scarf lets the oud and rose linger until the next day.
- For layering: Améthyste Noire pairs with a fruity gourmand fragrance during the day and oud rose in the evening. Find its three combinations in the Kane layering guide.
