Violet leads at the start, and in the heart raspberry and Turkish rose add a fruity, sweet floral warmth. In the base, violet leaf leaves a cool green note, while the powdery accord softens the whole blend.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer; daily wear, leisure and office settings come first, with evening and night out further behind. It reads feminine. Marc Jacobs Daisy and Violet Pourpre d'Automne have a close profile.
