By the editors · 2 min readBLV EDP II opens with star anise and violet — an anise note that reads slightly medicinal and dark-sweet, alongside violet's dusty, powdery facet. The combination is more unusual than immediately flattering, but it sets up the heart effectively.
Vetiver, patchouli, and iris in the heart are an intriguing trio: vetiver's earthy smoke, patchouli's dark earthiness, iris's cool powder, three materials that belong to different registers but fit together without conflict. This is the composition's strongest phase — a dark-earthy-powdery accord that feels genuinely distinctive.
The base of tonka, benzoin, amber, and musk is warm and resinous, a proper oriental drydown that extends the composition's warmth without tipping into gourmand territory. An underrated flanker that earns its depth.
