Bois de Violette

Bois de Violette opens on a green, almost cool violet that reads as leaf as much as flower: the top accord of violet, violet leaf and cedar gives the scent its characteristic ozonic lift, with a powdery softness already present from the first spray. The listed pyramid stops at those top notes, so the drydown is best judged by the accords rather than by named base materials — violet dominates throughout, backed by a woody structure and a musky, powdery finish that keeps the composition close to the skin.

This is a collector's violet for people who want the flower stripped of sweetness and set against dry cedar rather than candied fruit or vanilla. The ozonic and aquatic facets make it feel airy and slightly cool, closer to a shaded garden than a bouquet. It suits unisex wear in spring and early autumn, and reads as office-appropriate given its restrained sillage. Those seeking a rich, resinous violet should look elsewhere; those who prize a clean, powdery woody floral from the early 1990s will find it here.

Bois de Violette 以紫羅蘭、雪松與紫羅蘭葉作前調，一開瓶就係帶綠意、微涼嘅花香，唔甜膩，反而有陣粉感同臭氧般嘅清透。香調表只列到前調，所以後段要靠主香調判斷：紫羅蘭貫穿全程，木質結構托底，最後收成粉粉嘅麝香尾韻，貼膚而低調。

氣質偏向乾爽、潔淨、帶書卷味嘅木質花香，唔屬於濃郁樹脂型紫羅蘭。適合春夏或初秋日常、辦公室同中性打扮，噴少量已夠。想要華麗厚重紫羅蘭嘅人可能覺得佢太清；鍾意九〇年代初粉質木質花香、追求乾淨紫羅蘭嘅收藏者就值得一試。
