What does Violet Ends (2021) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, black pepper, rhubarb and violet, which gives a spicy, green start. In the heart, tobacco, black tea, iris and frankincense pull it towards smoky, earthy ground. Silver birch, papyrus and leather form a woody, leathery base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so treat these as a rough guide. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine. It suits those who like tobacco, leather and green notes in a scent that is present without being loud. Boy Smells Violet Ends (2025) and Naomi Goodsir Iris Cendré have a close profile.
