Hermès Hermessence Violette Volynka is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Christine Nagel. Hermessence Violette Volynka settles into a heart of Violet and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Leather. Hermès's Hermessence Violette Volynka carries a Favourite verdict, a violet floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive sniff. Some find it a hauntingly beautiful, sophisticated violet-leather combo; others get stuck on a cold, artificial note or a straight-up old book smell. If you like your violets not-so-sweet and your leather smooth, it's worth a try.

About

Violette Volynka opens with a prominent, almost candied violet, quickly joined by the smooth, luxurious depth of leather. There's an airy, ozonic quality that keeps it from being too heavy, evolving into a subtly powdery and somewhat aquatic dry-down. Hints of either smoky ash or a creamy, balsamic rubberiness emerge, creating a scent that's both elegant and intriguing, with an undercurrent of refined opulence.
