What does Violette in Love smell like?

Lemon, bergamot and blackcurrant give it a lively, slightly green start. In the heart, violet, rose and iris build a floral, powdery base, while red fruits add sweetness and pink pepper and coriander bring a touch of spice. Musk softens everything underneath.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and understated. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily and office wear lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine. Kilian Prelude to Love and Tuttotondo Erbe Alpine have a close profile.
