Sketch - extrait de parfum

Sketch, like all Violet perfumes, is inspired by the original vintage but here too the execution is a contemporary, elegant, modern classic perfume – ‘softly spoken’ with lots of character. A perfume that is difficult to capture in a fragrance family, with woody and amber notes but also a dark chypre accord due to the patchouli and nutmeg mix. The tuberose and roses in the heart give the perfume a rich floral feel.

Sketch was originally marketed as Ambre Royal in 1924. This ‘sketch’ is based on the perfume from 1924. Nathalie Lorson gave this fragrance a beautiful contemporary twist while being reminiscent of the beautifully full and daring perfumes of the beginning of the last century.

The story of Maison Violet begins at the prestigious perfume school Ecole Supérieure du Parfum in Paris. Having just finished their perfumery training, three friends dreamed of becoming entrepeneurs and to start their own brand. It was during the course of research, by luck, that Anthony Toulemonde, Paul Richardot, and Victorien Sirot came across Maison Violet: a century-old perfume brand, founded by mister Violet in 1827. Immediately intrigued and then deeply seduced by its history and its many secrets, bringing Maison Violet back to life was the obvious step for them. Together with top perfumer Natalie Lorson, they reformulated the historical fragrances, inspired by the brand's classics.  In doing so, they intertwined the rich heritage of this brand with the present, offering these elegant and modern creations.
