By the editors · 2 min readA powdery violet over a warm balsamic base. Violet leads — the candied, slightly metallic kind, less floral than ionone — and the base of tonka bean and benzoin pulls it into something almond-sweet and resinous.
The composition reads as a small interior scene rather than an outdoor one: dim, soft, slightly retro in its powder-and-vanilla profile. With only three stated ingredients, the fragrance lives on its restraint — close to skin, quiet on projection, the kind of thing that emerges as a warm sweetness when someone leans in. It suits cool weather and indoor settings.
