What do reviewers say about Violet Shot and En Passant?
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 technically an ozonic floral but reads more like biting into a fresh cucumber mid-spring. Giacobetti pulls off the trick of making aldehyde-free lilac feel like actual lilac.En Passant
