What does Accordo Viola smell like?

Most voters pick it for spring, with summer and fall trailing behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure, daytime and office wear, and less for evenings or nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with bergamot, nectarine and lemon for a fresh start. The heart is led by violet and violet leaf absolute, with jasmine sambac absolute, heliotrope and Damask rose filling out the floral core. In the base, musk, Bourbon vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it and dry down woody and powdery. Penhaligon's Violetta and Floraïku My Shadow on the Wall have a close profile.
