HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Olfactive Studio, Violet Shot is a creation by Dominique Ropion that weaves together the freshness of green grass and Italian mandarin with the warmth of pink pepper and violet leaf. The composition opens with an ozonic and aquatic accord, giving way to the spiciness of safraleine before settling into a base of Madagascar vanilla, Spanish labdanum, and Indonesian patchouli leaf. This fragrance captures the essence of a crisp, vibrant moment caught between freshness and warmth.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to capture its full range from ozonic freshness to warm spices. It blooms gradually over time, so give it an hour to fully settle on your skin before reapplying if needed.
