The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Jo Malone London, Violet & Amber Absolu is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men, created by Anne Flipo and Florent di Marino. This composition opens with a mysterious violet that blooms against the backdrop of an Arabian night, its elusive scent enveloping oud and white musk while resting on a foundation of warm amber. The interplay between the powdery floral notes and the earthy depth of the base creates a fragrance that is both alluring and sophisticated.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays — it develops its full complexity over time. The violet notes linger close to the skin, while the musky base unfolds gradually, making it ideal for evening wear.
