Violet Franck Boclet, unveiled in 2016, is positioned as a unisex fragrance, rooted in the spicy, wood, and floral families. Perfumer Franck Boclet left a distinct mark on this composition. Violet — proudly part of the Fragrance collection. Released in eau de parfum.
It doesn't linger long, but it always leaves a mark — longevity is very low. Made in France. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has very low longevity and lasts only about 1 hour on the skin, leaving only a light, barely perceptible trail
The scent exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Violet evolves as a living composition, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Franck Boclet is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps the right density and pace of development.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Spicy, Citrus, Musk and Aromatic. The palette also extends to Floral, Wood and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the composition sits in Floral, Spicy and Wood.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect piquant warm opening notes: Black Pepper, Cardamom, Citrus accord and Pink pepper.
In the middle phase you detect Aromatic accord and Violet keeping a pure aromatic direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Musc with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Overall Violet reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
