What do reviewers say about Violet Shot and Ambre Sultan?
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 the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
