Aftelier Violet Ambrosia & Olfactive Studio Violet Shot ~ fragrance reviews

Posted by Jessica on 10 December 2020 6 Comments

One of my favorite winter-themed songs is the American standard “Violets for Your Furs.” Billie Holiday’s interpretation is the one I love most, although I’m very fond of Frank Sinatra’s version, which was probably the one that introduced me to this song.

This is the moment when I also start thinking about switching my summer perfumes (fruity roses, sheer beachy blends) for spicier, richer compositions. Fortunately, I have on hand small samples of two appropriate fragrances from French niche line Olfactive Studio: Close Up, launched in fall 2016, and the recently released Woody Mood.
