The Story
The Orientalist - Violet Edition is a bold, opulent fragrance that wraps you in a rich tapestry of violet, incense, and dark woods. It opens with a burst of violet leaf and blackcurrant, then deepens into a heart of orris and myrrh, before settling into a base of oud, leather, and amber. This is a scent for those who love the dramatic and the mysterious.
