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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With its strong sillage and complex nature, it's not ideal for a buttoned-up office. However, it's fantastic for casual outings and dates-perfect for making a statement without being ostentatious. A bit too edgy for formal wear, though.

About

Dirty Violet opens with an intriguing mix of cedar and jasmine, leading you into a floral heart where violet leaf and rose play together in a soft, powdery embrace. As it shifts, the base reveals earthy patchouli and ambrette, grounding the fragrance with a warm, intimate allure. There's a hint of smokiness from the frankincense, adding depth and complexity. It's urban and modern, evoking a sense of enchanted twilight-think of a rainy day in the city where the air is thick with mystery and a touch of something more primal.
