By the editors · 2 min readA violet study from end to end — leaf, flower, and the orris root that mimics violet's powdery dryness all stacked at the top. The opening reads almost ink-like, that peculiar metallic aspect violet takes on when concentrated.
The heart adds jasmine and lily of the valley with a thread of musk woven in early, softening the violet's sharper edges into something more wearable. By the heart you're somewhere between a Belle Époque powder room and a green stem snapped in half.
A sandalwood-and-nutmeg base brings dryness and a faint kitchen warmth, lifted by raspberry's tart edge — the fruit that has long been used to deepen violet without sweetening it. Cool-weather, daytime, intimate.
