The story behind the bottle.
Violet Ends (2025) by Boy Smells is a composition that defies convention, blending the freshness of bergamot and rhubarb with the warm embrace of leather and papyrus. Created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, this fragrance oscillates between crisp green notes and deep, earthy undertones. The juxtaposition of black pepper and violet creates an unexpected tension that makes each wear a distinctive experience. This unisex scent is designed to be both intimate and bold.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points and let it develop over time. The bergamot and rhubarb top notes are fleeting, so wait a few minutes before layering for a more cohesive scent that balances the warmth of leather and the coolness of violet.
