PowderyWhat does Vanille Violette smell like?
It opens light and fresh with ambrette and bergamot. In the heart, violet, rose and lily of the valley give it a floral, powdery air. In the base, musk, vanilla and benzoin sweeten and soften the scent.
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters find it feminine, and some call it modern.
