At a glance
A violet soliflore from Elizabeth Arden's in-house perfumers, opening on bergamot before the violet heart, closing on musk, iris, and woods. It follows the same violet-iris pairing used across the industry in this period, offered as part of Arden's growing early fragrance and toiletry line alongside her cosmetics business.
