What do reviewers say about Violet Shot and Carnal Flower?
Most violet fragrances smell like a lip balm. This one smells like the actual plant, stems and green, not petals and powder. The leather note is the quiet pivot nobody sees coming.Violet Shot
This is not a safe blind buy. The tuberose here is bold, almost aggressive on some skin. But if you want a tuberose that smells like the actual flower in full sun, this earns its reputation.Carnal Flower
