Olfactive Studio Violet Shot is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Dominique Ropion. Violet Shot opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Grass, settles into a heart of Safraleine and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Olfactive Studio's Violet Shot carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, Violet Shot offers a complex, green violet experience that's either a stroke of genius or a discordant abstraction, depending on who's sniffing.

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.

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh yet complex character, make it suitable for casual wear or dates without being overpowering. While some find it office-friendly, its unique and occasionally sharp profile might be too bold for some formal settings or intense physical activity.

About

Violet Shot kicks off with a bright, zesty mandarin and a playful spark of pink pepper, quickly ushering in a vivid, almost ozonic grassy note. The heart unveils a multifaceted violet leaf, earthy and slightly leathery, enhanced by the unique warmth of safraleine. As it dries, a comforting base of creamy vanilla, rich labdanum, and a subtle patchouli grounds the green freshness, adding depth and a touch of sweetness without veering into gourmand territory.
