The texture of contrast. The opening is violet leaf and pink pepper, green and bright, the snap of a freshly cut stem. The heart is suede and violet and white wood, powdery, still, the dry clarity of something already worn in. The base is vetiver, sandalwood, amber, the depth a jacket settles into after a year of weekends.

50 ml of juice composed in Grasse at a heritage independent atelier. IFRA-certified, vegan, cruelty-free, free of artificial colorants, synthetic dyes, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, BHT, phenoxyethanol.

For the host who wears the same dinner jacket every Friday and has had it tailored three times. For the recipient who knows what suede smells like when it has been kept dry. For the partner who keeps a jar of violet candy on the desk.

Sprayed on the back of the neck, the violet softens within the hour. The suede stays close to skin.

Eau de Parfum, 50 ml, 1.7 fl oz. Made in France.
