Scent Depot Score™

7.6/10

Very good

Strong category choiceA powdery violet/iris opening with tart berry facets (violet leaf, raspberry, cranberry) softens into a heart of Florentine iris, rose, clove and clean musk, then dries down on cedarwood, leather-tinged musk and traces of blackcurrant/rose. Expect good longevity with a moderate-to-strong trail, especially in cooler weather.

More Information

Key strengths

Distinctive violet-led signature uncommon in today’s market.
Elegant evening/formal character supported by woody and musky depth.

Things to know

You dislike powdery violet/iris or ‘lipstick’ accords.
Clove/cedar nuances can read sharp or plasticky to some wearers.
You want a high-heat summer daily: community votes favor fall/winter over summer.
Premium pricing may not match your value expectations.
