Violet Venom

Floral and quietly green, Violet Venom is a 2025 release from the Italian house Gritti, composed by Luca Gritti. It balances white flowers with tea and soft woods, and is worn by anyone.

Bergamot and neroli open it with a fresh, sunny citrus brightness, neroli adding a slightly bitter, green orange-blossom edge. The heart is where the florals sit: osmanthus brings a delicate, apricot-like, leathery sweetness, while orange blossom adds a warm, honeyed petal note. White tea gives a calm, dry, slightly green airiness that keeps the flowers light. In the base, sandalwood and cashmeran provide a creamy, soft woodiness, and musk, amber and vanilla add warmth and a gentle sweetness.

Despite its dramatic name, the overall effect is elegant and serene rather than dark. It suits daytime and spring or early autumn, office wear and those who enjoy tea-inflected florals with a smooth, woody finish.
