Compliment
Violet leaf opens crisp and chlorophyll-green, slicing through the first breath with a metallic flash that quickly sweetens as orange blossom and peony fold in a dewy, almost lactonic white petal accord.

By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens crisp and chlorophyll-green, slicing through the first breath with a metallic flash that quickly sweetens as orange blossom and peony fold in a dewy, almost lactonic white petal accord. The heart narrows to creamy tuberose and ylang-ylang; their banana-custel edge is cooled by ghost traces of eucalyptus, keeping the white bouquet from turning syrupy and lending a airy, mint-tinged lift. Benzoin resin and vanilla in the base warm the composition, while heliotrope and iris powder the dry-down to a soft, almond-hued haze that smells like pressed linen and skin-toned makeup. Projection stays polite, hovering just outside the collar for six hours before settling into a clean, pastel skin scent. Spring office days or cool summer brunches fit best.
