by Maison Violet
Sketch by Maison Violet is a rich, vintage-inspired amber-vanilla fragrance with an opulent and creamy drydown. It opens with a lively, crisp blend of bergamot, pink pepper, and nutmeg, creating a bright yet spicy top note that feels modern and slightly fizzy. As it evolves, the scent settles into a deep, powdery vanilla heart laced with dusty patchouli, tonka bean, and subtle rose, giving it a velvety, slightly leathery sweetness. The base is warm and long-lasting, with a quiet but persistent sillage that lingers through the night. Many note its resemblance to the French classic Grand Soir or vintage Caron, with a timeless, regal aura—fit for cooler weather and evening wear. It’s consistently praised for its sensual drydown and excellent longevity, making it ideal for romantic or nostalgic moments. The scent feels balanced between gourmand and chypre, avoiding cloying sweetness while carrying a bright, dusty vanilla-musky quality that adds character. It's well-suited for those who appreciate vintage elegance, modern gourmands with depth, or anyone seeking a comforting, enveloping fragrance with a strong olfactory presence.
