Abîme

Abîme by Maison Violet is a deeply woody, warm, and subtly spiced fragrance that unfolds with a bright pepper opening, evolving into a smooth, resinous, and creamy sandalwood heart. The initial burst of black and chili pepper tingle the nose before settling into a soft, intimate dry down of palo santo, cedar, and incense. It's not aggressive or overwhelming—instead, it embraces with a quiet confidence, like a rooted tree standing on the edge of darkness. The scent feels introspective and serene, with a balanced warmth that lingers in moderate projection and longevity, particularly on skin and fabric. Many describe it as cozy, down-to-earth, and personal—like wearing a fragrant blanket made of smoky woods and light incense. While some find it faintly medicinal or dill-like in their experience, the majority appreciate its elegant softness and lack of harshness. It stands out as a characterful yet unpretentious santal-inspired scent with a composed, subtle evolution.
