What does Verte Violette smell like?

The notes read as one whole: the green crispness of violet leaf meets the floral side of violet and the powdery texture of iris. A woody undertone keeps this light structure dry and plain, with sweetness staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it sits close to the skin. Most voters suggest spring and summer, with leisure, business and daily wear leading. About half the votes call its character feminine. Santa Maria Novella Iris (Eau de Cologne) and Cartier Rivières de Cartier - Insouciance have a close profile.
