Deep Viola by Byredo was launched in 2020 as an Oriental Floral fragrance that weaves together powdery, amber, and leather notes to create a rich blend of warmth and depth. The composition opens with the freshness of bergamot and angelica, which quickly gives way to the rich, velvety heart of violet and iris. This is underscored by the warm spicy and animalic undertones of saffron and oud, grounding the scent in an earthy, sophisticated embrace.

Application Tips
Deep Viola lingers close to the skin, so apply it liberally along pulse points for maximum impact. The fresh spicy top notes fade quickly, but the base of leather and amber provides a lasting presence throughout the day.
