Is Amaranthine still in production?+−
Amaranthine was a limited release and has since been discontinued by Penhaligon’s. It is currently difficult to find and is often sought after by collectors on the secondary market.
How does the "condensed milk" note affect the scent?+−
The condensed milk accord provides a creamy, slighty sweet, and "thick" texture to the base. It helps to smooth out the sharp spices and green notes, giving the fragrance a lactonic quality that mimics the scent of warm skin.
Is this fragrance suitable for the office?+−
While it is categorized as a floral spicy scent, its distinct humid and animalic undertones make it better suited for leisure or evening wear. It may be a bit too heavy or unconventional for a conservative professional environment.
Does it smell like a typical tropical perfume?+−
No. Unlike many tropical scents that rely on coconut or sunscreen notes, Amaranthine uses banana leaf, ylang-ylang, and heavy spices to create a "jungle" atmosphere that is green and spicy rather than sugary.
