Voile de Violette

Voile de Violette is a strikingly naturalistic and dense violet fragrance with a forest green character, leaning into a complex interplay of green, powdery, woody, and slightly metallic notes. It opens with a clear, sharp, green-sour intensity reminiscent of violet leaves and damp earth, with subtle vetiver and cedar working under the surface. The dry down reveals a powdery, slightly sweet iris and soft floral-violet core that feels both earthy and delicate—more akin to crushed violets in a mossy forest than a sweet candy. The progression is subtle and layered: it doesn’t fade quickly but remains present for hours, evolving from bold greenness to a quiet, skin-like violet dust. The scent is unapologetically bold and not typical of mainstream violet perfumes—it’s not floral in a standard sense, nor is it sweet or innocent. Rather, it carries a dark, forest-green, almost metallic-edge that some find challenging or incisive, while others describe it as deeply authentic and rare.
