Sublime (English for sublime)
Sublime can best be translated as "sublime" or "grandiose, extraordinary".
There was also once a band that played chaotic ska punk and reggae, which saw this name as fitting - and whose lead singer died of a drug-related death before the band's breakthrough.

Quite pathetic, then, when you think that this word was considered the most appropriate for the name.
A sublime fragrance that presumably also gives the wearer a feeling of grandeur. So it not only suggests a good smell, but directly a better character.

And this is where the problem with the fragrance begins for me. Because in my opinion, the fragrance has very little to do with the name - or even the expectation behind it.

After the first two sprays, I perceived pure violet and iris. A beautiful, albeit old-fashioned cloud surrounded me. These two notes remained for me throughout the fragrance, but very quickly - after just 10 minutes - they became much shallower and more subtle.
Over time, rosy floral notes and fresh citrus scents emerge. Pleasant, but somehow still rather old-fashioned.
I honestly only perceive the much-represented woods in the base slightly and subtly.
What a shame, given that they had such a long journey to come together in this fragrance.

After just under 4 hours, the fragrance has already become very close to the body and has melted into a rosy, creamy, spicy scent. I find it strongest at this point.

Overall, the fragrance is good and harmonious. But it doesn't suit my taste, nor does it fit the name.

What does violet actually smell like?
I must confess, I'm not much of a flower connoisseur outside of the perfume world. In flower stores I usually face loud unknowns.

Accordingly, my knowledge of violets was also low.
Yes, of course, I have seen them often. But how they smell, phew, no idea.

However, after I was sent an Insolence sample of a very dear Parfuma, and I applied just this, I realized that I know very well, how violets smell:

The scent smells one to one like my grandparents' curd soap.
For as long as I can remember, they have had an oval bar of purple soap on the toilet.

The smell of violets and associated Insolence I would describe, what a wonder, as unobtrusive soapy and very gentle.
The smell of the perfume is supported by a background iris powderiness and latently perceptible fruit notes.
The fragrance is known relaxing and overall pleasant.
This becomes him at least with me also, however, a little to the crux, because I associate with the smell, as beautiful as I find him, just my grandparents.

Even if it will not work in my case, I think that the fragrance for others again could be so oldschool that he already seems modern again.
Nice to smell he is always.

I think I'll wear it the next time I visit my grandparents.
