My Review :


A very strong in your face flower, bouquet of violets opening, earthly , soft at times, sweet at other times, a woody tone is also present within the opening. You do get a wet powdery experience also within this opening. 


This opening is either a love or hate relationship ... 


The rose is clear and apparent, like any rose, its refreshing, sweet , musky , earthly, somewhat citrusy and floral. 


This ties hand in hand with the Violet flower 


So let's see how it turns out ....... 


After about 10 minutes, the Violet tone becomes very light and much more sweeter and comforting, almost like soapy but not heavy soap. 


Lots of lavendar comes through, a piney floral fresh aroma, camphor like at times. Sweet undertones, very balsamic and herbal undertones. 


The iris ties in beautifully as it's in the same family group and offers identical types of accords, such that you couldn't really single them out unless you have experiences them separately and then that very small difference can be found.


By the time we get to the base 


I get frankisence,  loads of it, incensy and the smoky elements of frankisence.  Furthermore at the base oakmoss and tonka are present. Very minimal leather my accords.
