At a glance
A violet soliflore from Houbigant, opening on bergamot before the violet heart, closing on musk, iris, and woods, following the well-established violet-iris pairing common across Belle Epoque and 1920s perfumery. It joins the house's numerous other single-flower releases from the same period.
