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

Violaceum 2 opens with a distinctive, almost vegetal burst of carrot seed, swiftly joined by the powdery, rooty elegance of iris. As it settles, a rich violet emerges, softened yet given depth by a subtle saffron, which together weave a complex, suede-like leather accord. It's an intriguing blend of earthy, floral, and subtly spicy notes, creating a sophisticated and unique scent profile.
