The Story
Bois de Violette is a rich, woody floral that balances the sweetness of violet with the depth of cedar and sandalwood. It opens with a burst of fresh violet leaf and lemon, then settles into a warm, creamy heart of orris and violet. The base is a smooth blend of woods and musk, making it a comforting yet sophisticated scent for cooler days.
