What do reviewers say about Melancolia Eau de Parfum and Black Violet?
Here's the thing about a fragrance called 'Melancolia', it smells like the opposite of sadness. Bright, herbaceous, and sharp. Lemongrass clearing the fog. That contradiction is the whole point.Melancolia Eau de Parfum
The dark violet and oakmoss combination is what makes this work, a sophisticated, slightly dangerous edge that works everywhere and lasts all day. The 8-10 hour longevity is the real selling point.Black Violet
