violet leaf · pea · lily-of-the-valley

B. Balenciaga opens on violet leaf and a breath of pea, green and fresh, with lily-of-the-valley adding a soft white floral note. Cedar and orris set a woody core, and ambrette with cashmirwood leave a discreet musky trail. Wear it in spring, when the air carries an ozonic edge and water feels close.
