What does Vio-Volta smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, with most voters giving longevity a high mark. Its unisex build sits comfortably on both men and women.

The notes read as one whole: violet brings a floral, green freshness, patchouli pulls the scent towards earthy and woody ground, frankincense leaves a smoky trace, and Amber Xtreme™ rounds it off with a synthetic, spicy warmth. A fruity tone stays in the background. Diptyque Kyoto and Heeley Hippie Rose have a close profile.
