What does Viola smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind, and it leans towards leisure and office wear. Nearly half of voters find it masculine, though it reads as unisex.
It opens with lemon, bergamot, clary sage and pepper, crisp and lightly sharp. Nutmeg, frankincense and rosemary add a spicy, herbal depth in the heart. Vetiver, sandalwood, cedarwood and oakmoss settle into a woody, green base.
