What does Violette Noyée smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. There is no clear lean towards a season or occasion; as a unisex scent, it suits whoever chooses to wear it.

The top is led by violet, bergamot, Meyer lemon and lilac. The heart turns floral and powdery with iris, heliotrope, May rose and violet leaf. The base is dominated by Tahitian vanilla absolute, styrax, benzoin, tonka bean and Mysore sandalwood, settling into a sweet, resinous, woody creaminess.
