In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Amethyst by Prisma Parfums is a sweet, woody fragrance that pairs bright fruit with aromatic forest greenery. It opens with an unmistakable rush of strawberry, pear, bergamot, and spun sugar, freshened by a brisk touch of lavender. As the initial sweetness settles, the composition reveals a crisp heart of pine needles…

Reviews →

Raunaq starts with a punchy blast of saffron and sweet plum. It settles quickly into an aromatic woody base on skin. We recommend wearing this floral musk fragrance on a breezy spring afternoon. It works best when paired with casual linen shirts. The sweet trail lingers without feeling heavy.
