This is classified as a women’s fragrance. But it’s so masculine. The violet is present but it’s really more of a green, herbal animalic leather. I appreciate it. It’s fun to have I my collection, but I can’t wear it. And that’s saying something, because I can often wear almost any unisex or women’s fragrance. But this one is just too abrasive to my nose with my chemistry. Still, I’m very happy to have it.
