Choco Violette

$115.00

Choco Violette opens with hazelnut and orange over bergamot, the nut note giving the citrus a richness before the composition moves into its heart: dark chocolate and violet in a pairing that is unexpectedly well-suited. The bitterness of the chocolate and the cool, powdery quality of the violet occupy different sensory registers but create, together, something that reads as more than either note alone. Madagascar vanilla and white musk in the base soften the whole composition into a warm drydown that extends the chocolate memory without becoming cloying.

Why We Carry This

Dark chocolate and violet is an unusual pairing that Mancera handles with genuine compositional intelligence. The hazelnut opening gives the chocolate heart a contextual richness, and the vanilla-musk base gives the whole composition a longevity that keeps the bitter-powdery combination present through a long drydown. The 2016 launch remains one of the house's most technically interesting compositions.
