Dusita
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The bergamot and blood orange burst forth with zesty immediacy, yet violet leaf absolute's green, slightly herbaceous character quickly tempers any cheerfulness—you're met with a crushed-leaf freshness, almost like breaking open a fig leaf between your fingers, with carrot seed's mineral earthiness adding unexpected depth.
Orris butter solidifies the violet into something powdery but refined, whilst jasmine sambac and may rose hover in the background, contributing whispered florality rather than obvious bloom. The fragrance becomes more contemplative here, the green notes remaining prominent but now softened by the creamy-floral middle register.
Ambergris and cedarwood establish a warm, woody foundation, with vanilla absolute providing subtle sweetness and vetiver grounding the composition in dry earth. The violet and green notes fade gracefully, leaving behind a skin scent that feels more intimate than projected—a subtle, creamy-woody whisper rather than an announcement.
Splendiris announces itself as a portrait of violet rendered through a distinctly verdant lens—this is not the powdered, cosmetic violet of classical perfumery, but rather violet leaf absolute cutting through with green, almost bitter brightness. Ploi Umavijani constructs something simultaneously lush and austere: the blood orange and mandarin open with a citric snap, whilst carrot seed introduces an earthy, slightly mineral undertone that prevents any sweetness from taking hold. The violet leaf's crushed-green character dominates the composition's early moments, supported by fig leaf's slightly astringent, sap-like greenness.
As the fragrance settles, orris butter emerges to powder the violet rather than sweeten it—this is powderiness achieved through subtle woody-floral means, not iris root's typical creamy indulgence. Jasmine sambac and may rose add a delicate, almost hesitant florality, carefully restrained lest they tip the composition toward conventional florals. The interplay between the green notes and these traditional heart florals creates tension: you're simultaneously drawn toward comfort and kept at aesthetic distance.
