The Le Labo VIOLETTE 30 fragrance is an ode to the undefinable contrasts in a single specimen. Within the lexicon of floriography — the secret language of flowers meticulously preserved in Victorian-era texts — the violet evades easy explanation. Across history, violets have symbolized a delightfully paradoxical bouquet of meaning, standing for both burning passion and wide-eyed innocence, steadfast strength and poetic delicacy, measured wisdom and persistent optimism.

Centered around the rarer, shadow-seeking white violet, it pairs verdant green floral notes with white tea notes, cedarwood, and a touch of guaiacwood. Familiar yet unknown, it is a study in saying yes to contradiction; a call to reclaim and embrace our many multitudes.

“We’ve always been drawn to the spaces between certainties: where precision meets intuition, where tradition converses with possibility. VIOLETTE 30 carries forth that spirit of paradox: a fragrance that refuses singularity, revealing what can arise when beauty is allowed to find its own form,” said Deborah Royer, Global Brand President & Creative Director Le Labo Fragrances Brooklyn, New York.

The genderless fragrances are freshly blended and labeled by hand with a personalized message of your choice. 50ml, 100ml, and 500ml bottles can be refilled with the same Classic Collection scent for 20% off the retail price at select labs, worldwide.

The fragrance is now available at affiliated retailers and online at LeLaboFragrances.com.
