Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a burst of ozonic freshness from the violet leaves combined with the tart sweetness of wild strawberry and red grapefruit. It is immediate and uplifting.
After roughly 30 minutes, the white florals emerge. Gardenia and jasmine provide a creamy texture, while the violet note transitions from the leaf to the flower, adding a soft, floral heart.
The final stage settles into a clean, skin-like finish dominated by white musk and light woods, with a very subtle hint of vanilla sweetness that prevents it from being too sharp.
