Maison Violet Abîme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Nathalie Lorson. Abîme opens with Chili and Pepper, settles into a heart of Palo Santo and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Incense. Maison Violet's Abîme carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A modern woody-spicy that's surprisingly divisive: for some, it's a serene, spiritual experience; for others, it's a 'pickle-adjacent' no-go. You'll either adore its creamy, peppery woods or find it utterly unwearable.

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.

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

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

Abîme opens with a lively, almost tingling burst of black and chili pepper, quickly easing into the distinctive, cooling aroma of palo santo. This spiritual woodiness is softened by the resinous, slightly balmy touch of elemi, leading into a smooth, comforting base of rich cedar and creamy sandalwood, underscored by a meditative wisp of incense.
