Violon Basse 16

Violon Basse 16 is a deeply complex and intense woody-metallic scent that evokes the atmosphere of a forgotten church or a violin case aged in time — dusty wood, smoldering resin, and sharp metallic notes. It unfolds in stages: initially bright with citric vanillic and herbal green elements, it transitions into a smoky, incense-like core with dry, resinous woods and a dry, leather-motor oil nuance. The final drydown settles into a layered, slightly sweetened woody base with a persistent, architectural quality. The scent is both austere and seductive, with an intense depth that lingers well beyond initial impressions. Its personality is reserved yet dramatic — not for everyday wear, but ideal for cold, quiet nights or moments of introspective solitude. Despite its dark and gothic reputation, many feel it is more about intellectual fascination than intimidation, especially for those drawn to avant-garde perfumery.
