Jean Charles Brosseau Fleurs d'Ombre/Violette - Menthe is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Fleurs d'Ombre/Violette - Menthe opens with Melon and Mint, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Iris, and Coconut. Jean Charles Brosseau's Fleurs d'Ombre/Violette - Menthe carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one is a true violet and mint delight, though it's not for everyone. If you love fresh, green, and powdery violet, this is a must-try. Some find it a magical, ethereal experience, while others can't stand the strong, almost balsamic opening.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

About

Fleurs d'Ombre/Violette - Menthe opens with a cool, watery splash of mint and melon, immediately setting a refreshing tone. As it settles, a soft, ethereal violet emerges, beautifully blended with hints of rose and the creamy depth of ylang-ylang. The drydown unveils a delicate base of powdery iris, earthy oakmoss, and a subtle, woody sandalwood, leaving a clean, refined, and slightly nostalgic trail.
