VIOLA
Violet leaf absolute sets the green heart of VIOLA, joined by geranium, lemon verbena, grapefruit, and a grounding touch of hay absolute. Fresh and contemplative, it reads like spring grass after rain.
Perfumer: Linda Sivrican
VIOLA is built around violet leaf absolute from Egyptian viola odorata, the green heart the brand names as its starting point. It smells like a leaf crushed between the fingers: cool, firm, and slightly bitter at the edge.
Geranium absolute adds floral weight to that green core, while lemon verbena and grapefruit bring a crisp, luminous lift. The citrus here reads more like peel than juice, with a tartness that keeps the composition alert rather than sweet.
Juniper berry and cucumber sharpen the green further, giving it a clean, almost watery clarity. Beneath them, hay absolute settles in with the dry, dusty scent of cut grass, and vetiver holds the base with an earthy, root-like texture.
Fiele describes the fragrance as a fresh, contemplative portrait of spring and unhurried time outdoors. On skin it stays quiet rather than loud, with the green and hay layers lasting longer than the first citrus sparkle.
Wear it with linen or a plain white shirt on a warm afternoon, when the bitter green and dry grass notes have room to breathe.
