I tried this years ago and despite being a real violet fan I've never taken to this or Paul Smith fragrances in general but I felt I should revisit it and make sure. Fresh opening of herbal/citrus basil which comes off a little like tea. Then it sweetens up massively and becomes very floral, mainly violets but I can smell lavender and maybe a bit green with some hiacynth? Something about this scent I just find a bit awkward and cheap the opening hour or so is really big and intrusive but it just dries down to a powdery violet and woody vetiver musk...which in all fairness is okay.
