Amaranthine
Eau de Parfum
by Penhaligons



The Scoop
As Penhaligon’s evolves as a fragrance house, there is a continual quest for innovation and individuality in each new fragrance release. For 2009, something unusual was required; a fragrance for the contemporary woman, shocking and compulsively sensual. Penhaligon’s turned to master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour and Amaranthine is the startling result: a complex choreography of perfumed desire. A corrupted floral oriental for those private moments when everything is anticipation.

Created by master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, Amaranthine is a complex choreography of perfumed desire. A corrupted floral oriental for those private moments when everything is anticipation.

Amaranthine opens with a dramatic flourish of spices and tropical green. This unsettling lick of drama is beautifully ambushed by an unctuous accord of jasmine and ylang-ylang, a heady bloom renowned for its aphrodisiac, and clove swathed in spices, tea, musk and the rounded beauty of tonka bean absolute.

Yuck!!!!!!!! This is awful on me!!!! I smell tropical plants and the banana leaf as top notes but then everything gets ugly after that. It's so strong and harsh. I don't know what else to say besides so not my style. It last a long time and has good silage. Unfortunately it was too strong and I have had to wash it off every time I tried out the sample. This is headache inducing stuff ( on me anyway). I didn't feel this scent was neither floral, nor sweet, nor spicy, nor oriental, nor green. It just seemed harsh and chemical to me.

Gorgeous, lush tropical with some very quirky facets. Too sexy for the office, perfect for evenings.

I can definitely smell the connection between the description/idea of this perfume and the scent of it. on me it opens with lots of jasmine & orange flower, and a little bit of banana leaf, and a tiny bit of spice. as it dries down, the spice comes forward a bit, the jasmine & banana leaf recede, and the milk accord emerges. very creamy, a little bit spicy... nice.

This was not at all what I was expecting - I got banana leaf and lily, in a soft powdery tropical flower aura. It's nice and I like it, but probably not really my thing.

This is one gorgeous, sexy and very unique fragrance, slightly sweet, definitely smell the banana leaf...but the dry down is to die for. Also love the longevity of the fragrance on me. Definitely a must have.

The opening on me is banana leaf, then it starts to morph into something almost but not quite indolic and I thought Nope this is not going to work for me. And then the indolic part starts to disappear and I get a soft cumin and violet note. The cumin goes backstage and then this amazing drydown happens and I get a lovely milky wood note along with the tonka. Lasting power has been great - about 5 hours so far and the sillage is medium - not overpowering but not shy. My only advice when sampling Amaranthine is to wait and to not write it off in the first 10 minutes. This is a nice addition to the Penhaligons lineup. I don't care for most of this line, but now I have one Penhaligons in my collection. Also wanted to add that I do not find this perfume really sweet as some have mentioned on other perfume boards.
