My first encounter with violet in fragrance, many years ago.
Way back in 2000, a friend of mine, her name was Danielle, wore this and I was immediately drawn to it for a familiar accord that I must've smelled in the ether before. It turns out it was a violet accord, and it was in Asphalt Flower. She gave me a sample as she worked at the MAC counter, and I was decidedly self-conscious as I was concerned it may have come off as too effeminate.
What I would do is layer it whatever else I wore and I love the results. At one time I would layer it with Helmut Lang Cologne. I remember when at a Northern Soul night shuffling around, a beautiful girl approached me and said "you smell delicious, I could just eat you up." Fast forward years later, and I have dozens of violet-centered scents in my collection.
