The millesime Violette is a vibrant homage to the history of the Maison Berdoues. This raw material that is both delicate and fragile has been inspiring perfumers since 1902. The fragrance is a bold, modern expression of the leaf of the french violet, magnified by blending iris from China with patchouli from Indonesia.
When the french violet leaf is used as a raw material in fine perfumery it adds a green earthy note to the fragrance.
Once the fields have been mown, the stalks and leaves are gathered and then distilled to obtain the precious absolute.
