Musc Angélique
Top Notes: Pepper
Heart Notes: Iris, Angelica root
Base Notes: Vetiver, Incense, White musk
On a winter morning, with the house still wrapped in slumber, the air is thick with a soft, cotton-like warmth. Outside, the biting cold has cast a frozen hush over the landscape, veiling it in pristine white. Inside, a gentle light filters through, caressing the still-warm sheets. It’s that suspended moment between dreams and awakening, when you nestle into the tender embrace of the morning.
Musc Angélique captures the sensation of absolute calm, between the purity of fresh linen and the comforting softness of skin still warmed by sleep. The musky notes, airy and enveloping, intertwine with the delicately powdered and soothing facets of angelica, creating a trail that is both ethereal and addictive. An invisible embrace, intimate and infinitely reassuring.
Originally released as CYCLE 001 in 2020, this fragrance now makes a permanent return as part of the new collection Les Expressions.

The second half of the 19th century was marked by the royal consecration of Violet. It became the official supplier of the Empress Eugenie and Queen Isabel II of Spain. The bee, symbol of the Empress, was therefore affixed on each bottle and became an important trademark.
In 1858 the shop took the name "To the Queen of bees - Violet House" to establish its legitimacy. The committee of the 1867 World Fair particularly distinguished the work of Louis Claye, then Director of Violet, by rewarding several products of the House.
After many years of success, the various world wars and crisis weakened the perfume house. Violet eventually stopped activity around 1955. However, three young men from Paris brought the company back to life in 2017.
Becoming the successors of Violet, Victorien, Paul and Anthony gave the name rebirth. Their profiles, although different, were driven by the same passion for perfume and history. Friends and colleagues, their complementary characteristics have allowed them to rebuild a modern brand with respect to Violet’s past.
