By the editors · 2 min readFidèle Violette opens with violet leaf — cool, green, and slightly metallic — before the heart of jasmine, violet flower, and rose fills in the composition with a classic, soft floral character. The violet here is twofold: the sharp greenness of the leaf and the sweet, slightly powdery quality of the flower itself.
White musk in the base keeps the drydown clean and close. The composition reads as a faithful, understated violet soliflore surrounded by jasmine and rose support. It is transparent and delicate, well-suited to spring and summer wear, particularly in warmer conditions where the coolness of the violet leaf provides a welcome counterpoint. Not complex, but properly composed.
