Viola Essenziale
A dusk walk above Florence: juicy fruit and mimosa settling into soft iris, lily and quiet woods.
Perfumer: Sonia Constant
Picture a walk through the Tuscan countryside just as the sun goes down, with the flowering hills above Florence spread out below. Viola Essenziale builds that hour around iris, the flower long woven into Florence's history.
Mimosa opens softly, brightened by the round sweetness of vine peach and the watery tang of lychee, which keep its powdery petals from feeling heavy. The heart turns cooler: iris with a smooth, powder-like texture, heliotrope's almond-tinged sweetness, and the clean white-flower character of lily.
Underneath, vetiver and patchouli lay down a dry, woody floor, and vanilla adds just enough warmth to draw the flowers and fruit toward dusk.
