By the editors · 2 min readBelle Violette opens on melon and lemon — clean, light, and slightly watery, the melon giving a soft sweetness and the lemon a bright citrus lift. The transition to jasmine in the heart is smooth, the single floral note providing warmth without complexity.
Incense, amber, vanilla, and patchouli form a richly contrasting base — warm, resinous, and dark relative to the airy opening. The incense keeps this from reading purely sweet; it gives the dry-down a slightly smoky, contemplative character.
The overall arc moves dramatically from light and fruity to deep and oriental. The contrast between top and base is the defining feature here — more interesting than any single stage in isolation.
