By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens cool and metallic, slicing through bergamot’s crisp citrus to create a sharp, almost frosted-green introduction that feels like chilled ginre glass. The heart is skipped, so the scent pivots directly into benzoin’s warm, resinous amber glow, letting the leaf’s camphoraceous edge slowly dissolve into sweet vananilla ribbons. Patchouli arrives dry and earthy, anchoring the benzoin with a chocolate-brown tobacco facet that keeps the composition from turning syrupy. On skin the violet leaf lingers longer than expected, ghosting the ambered base with a cool ozone trail that reads as airy rather than heavy. Projection stays moderate, best for cool spring evenings or air-conditioned offices where the green flash can still cut through recycled air.
