What does Dolce Violet smell like?

It opens with blackcurrant, cyclamen and Madagascan mandarin orange, which give it a bright, lively start. In the heart, blackberry, pear and violet bring fruity sweetness together with a floral side. The base of musk, sandalwood and Bourbon vanilla closes it on a soft, powdery sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the most chosen settings, with office wear not far behind. It reads as feminine and modern. Cacharel Promesse and Grès Lumière Rose have a close profile.
