At a glance
An overdosed violet composition from Molinard, opening on bergamot before a concentrated violet heart, closing on musk, iris, and woods. Violettes du Roi, The King's Violets, continues the royal-association naming convention common across French perfumery, applied here to Molinard's long-running interest in the violet-iris genre stretching back to the house's earliest soliflores.
