By the editors · 2 min readViolette Fumée is Mona Di Orio's violet study filtered through ash and resin. Oakmoss and lavender open with an earthy, herbal quality before violet leaf, violet, and clary sage take the heart — but this is violet rendered smoky rather than sweet, green-grey rather than candied. The clary sage adds a slightly medicinal, astringent edge that prevents any softness from settling.
Myrrh, opoponax, and cashmeran in the base build a dark, incense-heavy foundation that deepens with wear. Mona Di Orio's characteristic refusal of the expected — violet as a dark, slightly melancholic material rather than a spring note — is precisely what makes this fragrance interesting. A niche composition that rewards those who want their florals complicated.
