Mint and violet leaf open with a cool, slightly bruised greenness, orange and violet wrapping it in something gentler — the first impression is brisk but never astringent, a leaf-and-petal opening rather than pure citrus.

Lavender takes the middle and pulls it toward classic fougère territory, vetiver dragging in a cool earthy thread, jasmine softening the edges. Violet stays present throughout, lending a slightly powdery, suede-like signature.
Tonka and amber finish the drydown sweet but not sugared, easing into skin-warm territory. The overall character is polished and well-mannered, an aromatic-violet fougère that reads office-appropriate, with restrained warmth carried through to the close.
