The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2026 by Le Labo and crafted by perfumer Frank Voelkl, Violette 30 is a harmonious blend of powdery violet and aldehydic freshness. The fragrance opens with the crispness of white tea and aldehydes before transitioning into a heart of rose and incense. The base notes feature smoky cedar, guaiac wood, and amber, creating a warm and enveloping finish that contrasts beautifully with the fresh top notes.
Violette 30 has a strong presence that builds over time. Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced effect throughout the day. The fragrance is best worn close to the skin rather than in open spaces, where its complex layers can be fully appreciated.
