The fruit gets the first word in Ajmal Viva Viola, well before any flower is allowed to speak, pear, raspberry and blackcurrant crowding the top in a lush, juicy rush, vivid and festive. Rose and white flowers form a soft, romantic centre. Sweet caramel, musk, cedarwood, and patchouli close the base in warm, gourmand richness that lingers with real celebratory character.
Sweet caramel in the base gives this composition real indulgence, keeping the earlier juicy fruit from ever feeling thin or one-dimensional once the gourmand richness finally arrives. Celebration was evidently built directly into the structure here, rather than left to the name alone. Sweet, festive and thoroughly indulgent.
Best kept for daytime wear year round, Viva Viola from Ajmal earns its place there as a floral fruity Eau de Parfum. That balance is exactly what makes Viva Viola work.
