Peeping Violets - Cold Spring Air, Violets, Violet Leaf, White Musk

Notes: Cold Spring Air, Violet, Violet Leaf, White Musk

It's still quite chilly out, but you've spotted one of the first signs of spring - beautiful purple violets peeping out of the frost-tinged ground.

This perfume opens up with my cold air accord (which is also used in Snowy Evergreens and the discontinued March of the Gingerbread Men). It's sparkly and a bit herbal, and uses aldehydes, lavender, and eucalyptol for a cooling effect. After a while, the cold air note pulls back a bit, and the soft, powdery violet note emerges. To support the violet note and make everything feel soft and pillowy, I used the Grojsman accord - which is a blend of ISO E Super, Hedione, Methyl Ionone Gamma, and Galaxolide. The Grosjman accord smells soft, pillowy, and orris-like, and I think it gives a dreamy effect to Peeping Violets! Lastly, to bring in a touch of realism and green-ness, and to keep the perfume from being overly powdery, I've used a violet leaf note. Violet leaf smells green, watery, and a little melon-like, and it has a beautiful contrast with the ionones from the violet accord!
