Abîme by Maison Violet
Nathalie Lorson, 2023.
Back in 2018., when Anthony Toulemonde, Paul Richardot, and Victorien Sirot launched the first four perfumes of their brand Maison Violet, the story of young business partners whose friendship goes back to the first years of studying at the Ecole Supérieure du Parfum in Paris looked charming and promising. Now, five years and three more perfumes later, I am fully ready to exclaim: “Well done!”

Over the years, I have followed Violet’s gradual and careful building of a modern, neoclassical brand from the material remains of the disappeared Maison Violet’s identity.
I was pleased to see that Anthony, Paul, and Victorio were in no hurry to introduce new perfumes and that with each new release, they remain faithful to the tradition of classic French perfumery.
After Maison Violet presented Nuee Blue (2019.), a musky and moody iris, I became certain that soon will come a perfume that would enchant me.
Love at first sniff happened at this Esxence – ABÎME a warm, shady, deep, refined woody perfume.
In the heart of ABÎME (meaning: the abyss) is the striking woody accord created with cedar, paolo santo, and sandalwood. A swirl of fresh aromatics, dry and dark incense, and warm spices make Abime simultaneously deep, warm and mysterious and light and fresh.
The five years since the start provide a great perspective:
Violet now represents a mature, well-rounded brand with a great and credible story, built on a clear vision and aesthetics, consistently high quality, and a transparent and friendly approach.
Maison Violet, congratulations!
