What do reviewers say about Violette 30 and Bois de Violette?
The aldehydes here are not subtle, but they serve the fragrance rather than overwhelming it. White violet isn't here to play nice. It won't be ignored.Violette 30
The name promises violet. The drydown delivers cedar. That's the whole trick here, luminous floral up top, quiet woody base underneath, and the kind of complexity that reveals itself only if you're.Bois de Violette
