Violet leaf opens alone with a sharp green snap, reading more cucumber and crushed-stem than the powdered violet flower.

By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens alone with a sharp green snap, reading more cucumber and crushed-stem than the powdered violet flower. The first seconds are fresh and quietly distinctive.
Mimosa enters the heart with a soft yellow-floral powder, the cottony sweetness softening the green opening into a rounded mid-phase. Black pepper in the broader frame adds a quiet sharp lift. The composition stays restrained, more sketch than bouquet.
Sandalwood closes the arc with a creamy, slightly milky base that holds the mimosa's powder and the violet leaf's green echo. Bergamot in the broader frame keeps a citrus thread alive through the dry-down. Reads as a quiet green-floral haiku, projecting modestly. Minimal in construction, calming in feel.
