In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Luminous Violet by Angel Schlesser opens with a sharp burst of bergamot and crisp green tea that quickly shifts into a soft powdery violet heart. Juicy pear adds a fleeting sweetness before settling into a dry vanilla base. Designed for casual spring days, this quiet floral fresh scent stays close to the skin.

Reviews →

Wine Vanilla is a light wood and fruit scent that relies on a gentle contrast between dark fruits and dry powdery notes. The opening of fresh pear and black currant quickly pivots into a dry, iris-like violet that feels clean on skin. It is built for daytime wear in spring when you want a quiet, subtle aura.
