What it smells like

Violet smells soft, powdery and sweet, with a delicate green freshness and a slightly earthy, cool, candy-like quality. It can feel nostalgic and gentle, like old-fashioned cosmetics, or crisp and green if the leaf is emphasized. It sits in the heart of a fragrance, adding a smooth, powdery, romantic touch. It blends well with iris, rose, woods, musk and fruits, giving compositions a vintage elegance.
