Launched in 2013 by Salvatore Ferragamo and crafted by perfumer Sonia Constant, Viola Essenziale is a chypre floral that blends powdery notes with earthy undertones. The composition opens with the bright freshness of neroli and litchi, giving way to a heart of Tuscan iris and orange blossom. This delicate floral bouquet is then grounded by patchouli and musk, creating an essence that feels both warm and ethereal.
