What does Voile de Violette smell like?

Violet, violet leaf and iris form the core, with rose softening the floral side. Cedar and vetiver lay a dry, woody base, while tonka bean and myrrh add a sweet, resinous warmth. Hay brings the spicy touch a little closer to the earth.

Longevity and sillage are rated as moderate, though few people have voted, so this is only a rough guide. Powdery and gentle, it sits on the feminine side and suits a calm, close-to-the-skin presence through the day. Balmain Ivoire and Avon Natori (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
