003 yuzu feuilles de violette, vétiver
Fragrance notes
Character
003 yuzu feuilles de violette, vétiver opens with a sharp, almost electric squeeze of yuzu and bergamot, but the violet leaf is the real gatecrasher, all wet green stems and crushed chlorophyll. It feels like you’ve brushed against a freshly watered hedge on a cool spring morning. The heart softens the edges with a sheer jasmine and a neroli that’s more floral water than syrup, while elemi resin adds a faint lemony polish without tipping into incense territory. The drydown is a quiet, grassy vetiver backed by a clean musk, but don’t blink — this whole story lasts barely two hours on skin and projects like a polite whisper. It’s a shame, because the composition itself is lovely: a translucent, photorealistic snapshot of a Japanese citrus orchard after a light rain, with the violet leaf acting as the wet earth underfoot. This feels natural and unforced, more niche in spirit than mass appeal, but the performance makes it strictly a date with your own collar or a refresh spritz on a blistering summer day. Anyone expecting a statement will leave empty handed. Wear it to a lazy brunch or a solo walk in the park, reapply often, and accept that beauty this delicate was never meant to shout. 🌿🍋
