Velvet Violet

Velvet Violet Eau de Parfum is an unexpected and unconventional fragrance that pays tribute to traditional perfumery through a bold exploration of creative contrasts. Master perfumer Gaël Montero create this fragrance as a genderless Eau de Parfum, it brings together the airy, powdery elegance of violet with the rich, toasted warmth of roasted sesame, creating a long-lasting sophisticated scent that balances light and dark, freshness and intensity.

88% naturally-derived ingredients

From the opening notes, pink pepper, violet leaves, and clary sage essence create a vibrant and aromatic introduction. At the heart, roasted sesame absolute and roasted barley reveal a warm, nutty gourmand character, adding depth and texture to the delicate floral facets. The fragrance settles into a sensual base of grilled tonka beans, benzoin resinoid, and vetiver essence, leaving a warm, refined, and distinctive trail on the skin.

The result is a beautifully balanced unisex violet fragrance with a unique roasted sesame accord—elegant yet unexpected, airy yet intense. Its sophisticated composition makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking for a modern niche perfume that moves beyond traditional floral fragrances.

The bottle translates the fragrance’s contrasting character into a striking visual design. Violet accents define the shoulders and enhance the sculptural silhouette, while deep purple glass reflects the light with a soft, velvety effect. The contrasting base reinterprets a motif from the house’s collections, featuring a constellation of golden fragments inspired by the graphic texture of roasted sesame.

For added convenience and sustainability, the Eau de Parfum refill is presented in a recyclable bottle and includes a funnel and key to make refilling your fragrance bottle simple and effortless.

Made with 88% ingredients of natural origin, this fragrance combines artistic perfumery, contemporary design, and a more mindful approach to fragrance refills.
