Violet Ends
The quiet tension of a late afternoon in an old library, where the crispness of fresh books meets the lingering scent of tobacco and leather.

The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, Violet Ends by Boy Smells is an Oriental Spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. This composition opens with the freshness of bergamot and rhubarb, which gives way to a heart of violet, black pepper, and tobacco. The base notes include leather, birch, and papyrus, creating a smoky and powdery backdrop. Violet Ends is an intriguing blend that balances the sweetness of violet and the spiciness of black pepper with the depth of tobacco and leather.
Apply one to two sprays — the freshness of bergamot and rhubarb fades quickly, but the warm, smoky base notes develop over time. Best for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet complex fragrance.
