What does Viole Nere smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, then winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it sits somewhere between the two.

Violet, iris and rose lead, while jasmine, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley widen the floral side. Vanilla and sandalwood add a creamy sweetness, and frankincense and patchouli bring a resinous, smoky depth. Cognac and blackcurrant stay in the background of this warm structure.
