What do reviewers say about The Library Collection Opus III and Viole Nere?
This is powder without the dusty vanity. Mimosa and violet give it elegance, but the clove and nutmeg keep it from being polite. Warm without being sweet. Oriental without the weight.The Library Collection Opus III
The vintage powder-lipstick accord isn't subtle. It grabs you, holds on. Some will call it dated. This is a violet that demands to be taken seriously.Viole Nere
