Violette

I love violet. It's one of my favorite notes and perfumes that feature it as a note are usually an instant love. Violets unfortunately have scent molecules that cause you to go anosmic for a brief while to the aroma which gives most violet-forward perfumes notoriously terrible longevity. That being said, I went into this expecting poor longevity. I was not prepared for how poor it would be. The scent is an absolutely perfect violet. It's a really jammy, fruity-sweet violet with good amounts of sharp powder. I loved it and immediately it sat close to the skin (so basically 0 sillage). I was willing to be ok with that, and even ok with the price tag, because I love violet scents that much. However the longevity is basically 15 minutes; I'm not even joking. I sprayed it on the back of my arm then just walked around the store and waited in line to purchase something and I went to sniff the back of my arm again and it had the faintest ghost of a scent. Heartbreak. As a scent, it's perfect for daytime, spring or summer. It has a charming, timeless innocence about it. It brings to mind the image of wearing a long white cotton dress and bare feet on the grass. It's lovely but at this price point for this performance it's essentially useless. A 10/10 scent, but basically a 2/10 experience.

This fragrance is pure poetry. A soft violet breeze from a memory you didn’t know you missed until it wrapped itself around you. Violette by Chloé is delicacy in a bottle ... elegant, whispery, and timeless. It smells like a hidden garden in early spring, the kind where the sun glows gently and the world feels like it’s holding its breath. This isn’t your loud, dramatic floral. No. This is grace. A powdery-soft cloud of violets that clings to skin like silk. It has that vintage charm but never feels dated ... just romantic, like an old letter tied with a ribbon. You wear this when you want to feel calm, grounded, and utterly feminine in the most natural way. I’m honestly in love with the Atelier des Fleurs collection by Chloé. Every scent feels like a tribute to a single flower, letting it shine in its purest, most beautiful form. And Violette? She’s the shy star, the soft-spoken sister who leaves an unforgettable impression. Wearing it feels like being hugged by a memory. I don’t just recommend this 💜 I treasure it. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

Dainty Fairy. This is an interesting one. It took me a few wears to really appreciate it. I found it almost childish in the opening, but it does settle into a powdery violet. It's unlike any other violet soliflore I have, and I have a bunch! After a week of owning this, I crave it constantly. It's so easy to wear, so dainty, so carefree and light. I really love all the Atelier des Fleurs but this is easily one of my favorites....the other being Orchidée de Minuit.

Absolutely in love with this. It has a decent longevity and I can smell it all day round. It reminds me of running through a field of violets in summer as a kid, the sun is shining, you are barefoot and you can feel the wind blowing through your hair, all you can hear is laughter and birds. The violets are so fresh and photo-realistic but also somewhat candied which makes it even more nostalgic.

@prini.covich I do have both the Violette & Iris perfumes but they smell different in my opinion. Although they both share the powdery note, Violette is a soft, soapy, creamy powdery floral whilst the Iris is more of a earthy/green powdery floral. They are both very beautiful classic floral scents but unfortunately short lived.
