Beautiful! Very feminine but not overly floral. Starting with a burst of Calibrian Bergamot, Mediterranean Lavender and Oak moss from the Balkans, the start is earthy, creating the perfect bed for the upcoming notes to rest on. This combination of notes alone lets you know that this will be a very deep and velvety violet. As the dark purple violet scent emerges, it is fumed with pipe tobacco. Along with this note arrives the violet leaf note. The leaves add to the composition a damp mossy feel. The leaves generally add an aquatic, metallic freshness that I personally love and here it is no exception. In this composition the leaves keep the prior and following notes from becoming too dark and too deep. Turkish rose, also fumed with pipe tobacco adds its lovely essence, while Haitian vetyver adds another fresh yet woody note. Herbal clary sage and spicy saffron add spicy, herbal facets to this ever blooming parfum.

Now entering this already beautiful composition are the base notes. Somalian Myrrh and Somalian Opoponax, and spicy, amber, musk aroma of cashmeran. The olfactory joy is that every note dances around the dark velvety violet which is ever present from beginning to the very end. This is not a loud fragrance but certainly isn't a shrinking or shy violet either.

Violet Fumee is velvety, mossy, spicy woody and warm. It is long lasting, not over powering and is 100 % Lovely!
