Abîme of Maison Violet is both dark and characterful, with an intriguing spicy-woody accord.
Its powerful trail will leave a lasting impression on you. Let yourself be seduced by the warm and milky character of Palo Santo and the amber smoke of incense. The lemony, woody Philippine elemi gum combines gracefully with cedar wood. Tonga brings us spicy green facets of chilli pepper.
Indian sandalwood, creamy and balsamic, grounds and rounds Abîme to perfection. A masterpiece by perfumer Nathalie Lorson!

The story of 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.

Woody
Woody fragrances are full of character and indeed very woodsy. They can be warm, soothing and creamy, but also dry and spicy. Key ingredients are cedar wood, patchouli, sandalwood and/or vetiver. Oudh (agarwood), Palo Santo and guaiac wood have also joined the perfumer's palet, just like the fantastic synthetics such as Javanol or Iso-E-Super.
