The Story
Violet is a bold, unisex fragrance that flips the script on floral scents. It opens with a burst of violet leaf and black pepper, then settles into a creamy heart of orris and heliotrope. The base is a warm, leathery blend of suede and musk. It's a scent that feels both delicate and tough, perfect for anyone who wants to stand out.
