The heart is a single violet, powdery and slightly inky, with the candied quality violet often carries when isolated. With one note in the top and one in the heart, the perfume is essentially linear; the violet does most of the work, simply softening as it dries.
The base is where it gains weight. Sandalwood gives a quiet creamy underlay, amber adds resinous warmth, and musk smooths everything to skin. The result is a small, cosmetic fragrance — close, sweet, slightly retro — that reads more as a lipstick scent than a full composition. Pleasant, undemanding, easily worn.
