Maison Violet
Rivage
$195
Rivage paints a portrait of a coastal breeze with aromatic lavender, mint, cardamom, and zesty mandarin. Pepper adds spice before marine notes and violet leaf wash over the senses. Iris and sandalwood in the dry down bring warmth and calm, capturing the feeling of standing on a cliff’s edge above the sea.
