Maison Violet Sketch is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Nathalie Lorson. Sketch opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Rose and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Maison Violet's Sketch carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a grown-up, elegant scent, a comforting embrace of spiced vanilla and patchouli. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, with some finding it too powdery or 'vintage', but those who love it, really love it.

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:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it a strong contender for evening wear and dates, where its rich, warm scent can shine without being overwhelming. While some reviewers noted it could be worn day and night, its intensity and 'vintage' character might be a bit much for a casual office setting.

About

Sketch opens with a warm, inviting burst of spicy nutmeg and pink pepper, brightened by a hint of bergamot. As it settles, a creamy rose and rich tuberose emerge, adding a sophisticated floral depth. The dry down is a luxurious, enveloping blend of earthy patchouli, sweet vanilla, and powdery tonka bean, creating a deep, ambery trail that lingers beautifully.
