By the editors · 2 min readThe opening unfolds with a peculiar brightness—bergamot and orange cutting through hazelnut's roasted warmth, creating an oddly compelling sweetness that avoids confection. It's a gourmand introduction that never quite settles into the dessert territory you might expect from the name.
As it develops, violet emerges with surprising restraint, its powdery facets tempered by that persistent nutty sweetness. The florality here reads more like violet leaf's green, almost metallic quality than the candied violet of old-fashioned pastilles. Madagascar vanilla and white musk provide a soft, enveloping base that smooths everything into coherence without drowning the composition's sharper edges.
The result is an oriental that walks a careful line between playful and polished. It's sweeter than a traditional violet soliflore but less cloying than many modern gourmands, creating something that might appeal to those who find pure florals too austere and candy-sweet fragrances too obvious.
