    What do reviewers say about Viole Nere and Balenciaga L'Essence?

    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
    No sillage cloud, no 'notice me' moment. Just vetiver grounded by leather and moss, that forest-floor stillness. If you need to announce your arrival, look elsewhere.Balenciaga L'Essence
