Violette

My mum just sent me her bottle of this in the post, as she said it's beautiful but she can't wear it. This surprises me because she loves Chanel Coco EDP which is also a floral with sweet fruity notes with an amber base, but is also much spicier whereas I think maybe Violette is lighter and more simple, it probably lacks some complexity that gives that super luxurious impression. I really like it, definitely a light daytime spring fragrance I can wear, unlike the intense overbearing wintery frags I love to buy and sample. A lovely balance to my collection

As a child I had a violet perfume that I loved. I do smell the violet in here, but it's more complex than a single note violet composition. To me Violette by Fragonard smells like a field of violets, incorporating grasses and clover. There is a small touch of sweetness (the raspberry) - just enough. I find this scent very refreshing and feminine. I don't usually like floral fragrances - especially ones that are named after one particular floral note - but I love this one because it's so refreshing and doesn't overwhelm you. Fragonard continues to impress!

I loved this fragrance from first sniff--love violets!--and truly regretted not buying it while abroad. Happily, you can get it on Fragonard's site now. It's a fresh, fruity green violet. On first spray, I get fresh and sweet berries mixed with violets and as it dries down I'm left with a very fresh green violet scent. It's much greener than I remembered, but I still love it. It's definitely not powdery like Yardley's April Violets. Is it my perfect violet? No. But now I'm obsessed with trying all the violet scents I've learned about on this site!

This is my absolute favorite violet fragrance ever. Other violet focused fragrances smell like the violet wilted in the bottle. I was in search of a lively, less powdery violet, and this is it: Gorgeous and perfect. It is subtle and I wish it would last a little longer. I am definitely going to buy a bigger bottle.

I just love this one. Fragonard seems to be all about quality, but Violette (Mimosa and Muguet) are not expensive at all. It reminds me of Feerie by Van Cleef and Arpels, but Violette is a green violet. It is beautiful, romantic, sweet. A bottle of kindness and poetry.
