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.

With its strong sillage and sweet profile, Violet Oud is best suited for social settings like dates or casual outings where its presence can be appreciated without being overwhelming. It's too potent for office wear and too rich for formal events, while being completely unsuitable for sport.

About

Violet Oud opens with a fleeting whisper of citrus, pear, and peach, quickly giving way to a prominent heart of candied heliotrope and sweet notes, grounded by creamy sandalwood. As it settles, a soft, powdery vanilla emerges, underpinned by subtle woody notes and a dreamy musk, creating a charming, edible aroma that lasts for hours.
