What does Black Violet smell like?

It opens with violet, blackcurrant, violet leaf and aniseed, with the green and fruity sides clearly in front. In the heart, damask rose and heliotrope add a soft, powdery floral feel. The base of raspberry, iris and cistus sweetens it and settles it into a woody, creamy finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick daytime wear most often, followed by leisure and business settings, with evening and night out not far behind. It reads as a feminine scent that leaves a soft, quiet trail.
