Immediately upon application, I’m smelling violets and leather battling for the top spot. I can’t detect any of the other notes (patchouli, black amber and opium) at this point. Eventually things start to develop but this needs a little bit of time to calm down on me. There’s something almost offensive about this oil at this point but thankfully it’s a short lived stage. I’m thinking it’s the leather note maybe? I don’t have too much experience with leather notes but I do know that all of the other components jive with my chemistry. When this settled into the final stage on me I could finally smell the opium. The end result is a dark slightly powdery violet note tinged with opium with leather in the background. I wish it went straight to this stage on me as soon as I applied it. It’s an outstanding dark sexy dominant fragrance.
this one has some crazy throw for a perfume oil! It IS very dark and narcotic, the violet and suede rule for me. This is innocent violet powder corrupted by black suede opium dreams. I love it!
A lovely dark scent.. powdery, violets and a little soapy-like suede tinge.
Really lovely violet with a dirty leather back up.
