What does Violet Collection - V 05 smell like?

The top holds only oriental notes, the heart sandalwood and pink pepper, and the base patchouli and musk. The accords open fresh, citrusy and green-floral, then move into a sweet, spicy and woody body. Oriental, creamy, animal and earthy shades sit in the background and add depth.

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, though the number of votes is small. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about those. It is positioned as a men's fragrance, balancing freshness against an oriental warmth.
