The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 by Versace and crafted by perfumer Alexandra Kosinski, Couture Violet is a Floral fragrance that embodies the brand’s signature blend of sophistication and luxury. The composition opens with bright violet notes, which are complemented by yellow florals and mimosa for an airy yet rich effect. As it settles into its base, musky and powdery accords emerge, creating a warm embrace that feels both intimate and lasting.
Apply Couture Violet to pulse points for a warm, close-to-skin experience. The violet notes are bright but fleeting, so layer it with a touch of vanilla or another gourmand fragrance if you want it to linger longer into the evening.
