What does Viola smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, followed by leisure and business settings.

It opens with bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange alongside violet leaf, galbanum and green leaves, with pepper adding a slight edge. The heart of peach, jasmine, lily of the valley and blackcurrant turns it fruity and sweet. The base of musk, ambergris and patchouli leaves a powdery softness, with an aquatic touch running through. Granado Citrus Brasilis and Calvin Klein CK One (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
