Nuée Bleue
by Maison Violet
A pristine, cool iris fragrance with a fresh citrus opening of bergamot, lemon, and orange blossom. The heart reveals a soft, powdery iris enhanced by carnation and floral facets, creating a delicate, well-balanced elegance. The drydown features a clean, airy white musk and subtle sandalwood, giving a refined boudoir feel without warmth or heaviness. The scent is light, subtly sweet, and constantly shifted between fresh and softly powdered notes, evoking a stylistic memory of vintage Guerlain or Prada Infusion d'Iris. It maintains a quiet charm across the day, with moderate sillage and lasting predominantly through the morning. Its style is minimal and poetic — ideal for those who appreciate understated elegance and modern takes on classic powdery floral themes. While not bold or long-lasting, it presents a clean, refined aura that lingers as a quiet presence rather than a statement.
