Latest Reviews of Bruise Violet

The lighthearted delicate, powdery lilt of the opening is charming and affecting. This is full-on expression of the inside of my mother's makeup box. Its fragrance had such power to bring to you a quiet, still moment and the ability to stop time and envelop you in a hush in a way I never understood.
When Bruise Violet dries down it brings out for me a butch makeup accord, wrapped in subtle leather, Ooh, nice. That the drydown is as strong as the top and middle and brings it to a satisfying end makes this one stand out in a time of top-loading and weak endings.

Bruise Violet (Breeze Violet seems like a more appropriate name) comes across as a simple but assured and playful take up on the make-up theme. This is make-up that's ready to go none of that cakey, heavy stuff. I am taken by just how see through it seems to be while still being shaded. Good to wear on busy or stressful days when it will provide a waft of something pleasant rather than intrude.
