No. 37 Veilchen

It starts with an unusual and unexpected opening, like a burst of flavour, ... liquorice and anise notes blend and morph with the raspberries and Violets. The candied Violets then take center stage, licorice/anise note settle in the background. This is no ordinary Violet perfume! Its like juicy Dark Violet candy, though not too powdery or too sweet...it is just right, rich, full of flavour and long lasting. I am so happy with this, its exactly what I was looking for! I am in love with it! For reference I can sort of liken it to: the powdery sweetness and candy violet of Pentachord White/Molinard Violette, the darkness of Ombre Mercure, minty-Anise of Aimez moi ...with a true violet accord. But it stands on its own. Worth trying for the candied Violet lover.

My love for violet notes continues! This elegant german scent is not full of sugar-coated Parma violet candies, nor is it something wispy and watered down - it's full-bodied, green violet with hints of wood. Lush, sparkling, and slightly ethereal, this soliflore is a nod to antique violets from decades past, with a base that ties into modern perfumery. Easily fit for either gender, understated and classic. To compare it to a well-known violet on the market, I find this scent similar to Annick Goutal's "La Violette" - it has the same texture & tone, and the only difference lies in the drydown. La Violette is slightly more ozonic due to the addition of violet leaf, whereas No. 37 is just a hint sweeter. Though applying them side-by-side... it is definitely difficult to tell them apart. A big win for a blind-swap! Lots of power here - longevity is GREAT, easily 8-10 hours, and the projection is moderate. Very polite.

This is somewhat reminiscent of L'Heure Bleue for me also. A more affordable version. It is strong, especially before it dries down. I've gotten mixed responses when I wear it, but. Once it settles mostly compliments. I am a new fan of powdery scents, not the old fashioned sort, just the soft, muffled aspect. Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige has a strong "baby powder" vibe, but layers beautifully. I discovered Frau Tonis visiting someone in Berlin and they have some very unique fragrances. Good online purchase and shipping rates as the EDPs are available in a large range of sizes.

I'm wondering how this one compares to the "No. 07 Elixir Isotopique". Is this one more feminine or completely different scent?
