What does Violet Delirium smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably in between.

Saffron opens with a spicy start. In the heart, jasmine absolute, rose absolute and chocolate build a floral, sweet creaminess. The base of Burmese and Thai oud, musk, ambergris, soil and animalic notes adds a leathery, woody, powdery weight.
