By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf and violet flower create a damp, powdery opening that is both green and deeply floral. Iris amplifies the powdery texture in the heart, blending with earthy patchouli to add a slightly rooty, vintage quality. Labdanum provides a subtle resinous warmth in the base, while white musk and rose offer a clean, soft floral-musky dry-down. The scent evolves from a wet, dewy impression to a drier, powder-dusted skin scent over two hours. Projection is moderate initially but becomes intimate, with longevity around six hours. Its classic, romantic character suits formal occasions and cool, overcast days.
