Skymning
by Svensk Parfym
Skymning is a delicate and linear fragrance centered around violet candy, iris, and musk, evoking the nostalgic scent of Swedish violet pastilles. It opens with a cold, powdery iris that feels elegant and slightly regal, gradually revealing a soft, sweet violet core that resembles the flavor of real violet candy—especially the French Toulouse version. The combination of sweet notes, gentle musk, and subtle herbal vegetal tones in the violet creates a refined, almost diaphanous impression that feels cool, fresh, and quietly radiant. Over time, the scent transitions seamlessly from a violet and iris front to a soft, fluffy white musk base, giving the fragrance a dreamlike, lingering quality. It is particularly well-suited for spring days and warm breezy moments, and its moderate projection keeps it intimate yet noticeable. Despite its linear nature, it maintains a surprisingly long-lasting presence, often lasting into the next day even after minimal application.
Pros
- +A remarkably authentic representation of Swedish violet pastilles, ideal for lovers of this nostalgic candy scent
- +Smooth, elegant evolution with a cool, powdery iris and soft musk base that avoids being overly sweet or cloying
- +Excellent longevity and moderate sillage ensure it lasts through the day and leaves a subtle, pleasant trace
Cons
- −The scent can be too linear and predictable, lacking complexity or development for those seeking dynamic olfactory journeys
- −Some users report a musty or unpleasant opening note that may deter first-time wearers
- −Not a traditional violet perfume in the classic sense—more of a modern, naturalistic interpretation that might disappoint buyers expecting a heavy, opulent violet
