Violetta

By the editors · 2 min readJasmine dominates from first spray, releasing a full-throated white-floral sweetness that feels almost waxy. Ylang-ylang arrives seconds later, folding a custard-like lactonic creaminess into the jasmine’s indolic edges, while a measured dose of vanilla keeps the bouquet rounded rather than sharp. Rose slips stay low, supplying a faintly spiced tea nuance that prevents the heart from collapsing into simple candy. Over an hour the jasmine softens, allowing vanilla to emerge as a skin-warmed haze that smells more like fresh pod than extract, lending a gentle bakery warmth without overt gourmand heft. Projection stays close, radiating perhaps a foot, so the wearer notices shifts before bystanders do. Longevity reaches six hours on fabric, three on moisturized skin, making it a discreet spring or early-summer veil for office or brunch rather than evening drama.
