What does Violette Sacrée smell like?

It opens bright and green with bergamot, violet and violet leaf. Jasmine, rose and orange blossom widen the floral heart, bringing a sweet, creamy softness. Cedar, sandalwood and vetiver build a woody base, and musk smooths it into a powdery finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without crowding a room. Voters place it mostly in daytime and leisure wear, with business and evening close behind. Sospiro Pasticcio and Etro Jacquard have a close profile.
