What does Violette Hay / The Garden Collection - Violette Hay smell like?

Its sillage is rated good, though that view rests on only a few votes; there isn't enough to say anything about longevity, season or occasion. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and should sit comfortably on anyone.

It opens with coriander and carrot seed, which give it a green, earthy start. In the heart, violet comes forward, softened by the fruity sweetness of apricot, with saffron adding a quiet spice. The base of hay, suede and musk settles into a powdery, woody warmth. Voskanian Parfums Iris Boisé and Gallivant Bukhara have a close profile.
