Sketch is a sweet fragrance and my personal favorite from Maison Violet at the moment.

This is a thick and resinous, custardy vanilla, with a clean powdery vintage air that you will find in most of the Maison Violet offerings (reminds me of heliotrope and iris, even though they’re not in the notes). It’s gourmand-leaning, but smells too much of a make-up bag to be fully edible. Its texture reminds me of the classy iris-centered Chanel Les Exclusifs like 31 Rue Cambon, La Pausa, Misia & even Le Lion, but more sweetened.
