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.

Chypre
A classic chypre is characterized by top notes of citrus, often bergamot; a full-floral heart, like jasmine and rose; and mossy, woody notes in the base, such as patchouli, oak moss, and labdanum. For those who appreciate fragranced complexity and layered compositions, chypres are very exciting and worthwhile to explore!
