What does Bruise Violet (Perfume Oil) smell like?

White iris, Damask rose and Bulgarian rose lead the scent, while violet leaf and red grapefruit zest add a cool, slightly green freshness to the floral core. Powder and lipstick notes soften it into a creamy, cosmetic feel, and a faint spicy touch keeps the sweetness in check.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means these figures are tentative. It suits those who enjoy powdery florals. Thameen The Cora (Extrait de Parfum) and Bvlgari Le Gemme - Calaluna share a close profile.
