  1. A perfume for those modernist wooden dressing tables with a lovely triple mirror. It smells of violets with a special, enveloping and cosy aura. The violet is herbal, natural, pretty and understated. Cream rituals, makeup and cleansing routines accompanied by this little bottle filled with violet liquid and a scent reminiscent of makeup. Everything in such an elegant dressing table.
