I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have friends who are master perfumers, and they often send me samples of their latest creations. Laurie, the creative mind behind Velvet and Sweet Pea’s Purrfumery, is not only a sweetheart but also a passionate advocate for animals. She recently shared her latest limited edition project with me, called Pangolin Violette Rose. What’s remarkable is that Laurie is generously donating a significant portion of the proceeds from this fragrance to the Pangolin Crisis Fund.
Pangolin Violette Rose exudes an alluring, vintage charm. The perfume opens with a distinct earthy note, where the aged sandalwood takes center stage alongside hints of jasmine and candied violet.
As the fragrance evolves, the delicate petals of rose and violet seamlessly blend with a subtle undertone of cocoa. As you delve deeper into its composition, the base notes of Tamil Nadu, New Caledonia sandalwood, and Orris introduce a slightly powdery essence.
This perfume’s complexity makes it a true collector’s gem. Admittedly, my olfactory senses are still developing, and I find it challenging to unravel every nuance of this blend. However, if I were to imagine a signature scent for the TV show “Peaky Blinders,” Pangolin Violette Rose would undoubtedly be a top contender.
