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

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh profile make it ideal for office and casual wear, projecting an elegant yet understated presence. While it works for dates, its lack of strong projection might be lost in a formal setting or during vigorous activity.

About

Violet Sandalwood opens with a unique, subtle sweetness from sapodilla paired with a whisper of bright bergamot. The heart unfolds into a delicate floral bouquet of violet and magnolia, evoking a clean, airy freshness. As it settles, a comforting base of soft musk, warm cedar, and creamy ambrette emerges, creating a sophisticated and enduring skin scent.
