Dolce Violet

Mostly juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on cassis, cyclamen and mandarin orange, moves through black currant, violet and pear, and settles on musk, madagascar vanilla and sandalwood.

• cassis: blackcurrant: tart and purple, with a green, faintly sulphurous bite
• cyclamen: a fresh, watery green floral. The real flower has almost no scent, so this is a perfumer's construction

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
