Boy Smells Violet Ends (2025) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Jérôme Epinette. Violet Ends (2025) opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Violet and Tea, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Leather, Patchouli, and Frankincense. Boy Smells's Violet Ends (2025) carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive scent that some call a 'neon fever dream' and others, simply 'grandpa'. Violet Ends is an enigmatic blend of contrasts: a battle between light and dark, fresh and stinky, subtle and sledgehammer. Brace yourself for a wild ride.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given reviews mention its assertiveness and some find it too masculine for everyday taste, it leans away from office wear. Its complex character and good longevity make it suitable for dates or casual outings; it’s a bit too dark and distinctive for most formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Violet Ends kicks off with a sharp, juicy punch of rhubarb and bergamot, spiced up with a hint of pepper. The heart introduces a paradoxical violet - wet and elusive, almost drowned out by a crisp tea note. As it dries, the fragrance settles into rugged leather, earthy papyrus, and a dark, resinous frankincense, with patchouli lending an aged, almost decaying forest floor vibe. Some find a masculine tobacco in the base, despite it not being listed.
