What does Violet Noir (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for nights out, leisure time and evenings. It reads as feminine and modern.

It opens with red grapefruit and passion fruit alongside nectarine blossom for a fruity brightness. The heart turns floral and powdery with orange blossom, iris and rose. Musk, patchouli and amber set the base, leaving it creamy, woody and sweet. Amado Intuitive and Burberry Body (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
