By the editors · 2 min readApril Violets Contemporary Edition opens with violet leaf — green, slightly watery, and softly vegetal rather than sweet. This sets a fresh, understated tone from the start.
Orris anchors the heart with its characteristic powdery, rooty quality, while mimosa adds a gentle yellow-floral softness. Rose provides a quiet floral body without dominating. Together the heart reads as clean and muted — more powder than bloom.
Sandalwood and vanilla ease the drydown into a warm, lightly sweet finish that keeps the whole thing close to skin. This is a straightforward powdery floral — undemanding, soft, and well-suited to everyday spring wear or casual daytime use.
