What does The Virgin Violet smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring, with summer and fall close behind. It leans towards business, leisure and daytime wear, and most voters read it as feminine.

The scent reads as a whole: a green, fresh floral note joins the powdery side of iris and violet. Musk and vanilla soften it with a creamy sweetness, leaving a faint spicy, woody edge. Gucci Tears of Iris and Celine Rimbaud have a close profile.
