Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper

I was extremely intrigued by the scent composition. It was a hybrid between Flowerbomb and La Vie Est Belle. I couldn't fathom how this scent could smell sweet, sweet, sweet. As a gourmand lover, I would expect something along the lines of caramel and cotton candy. The initial blast was an overwhelming scent of flowery violet. It is that strong scent that temporarily assaulted my nose but once it's settled down, it becomes sweet, powdery and elegant. It does remind of LVEB, just a really great scent to have.

If you are in Greece for holidays or somethink else try it....it's a really beautiful perfume...it's little sweet on me but so fresh and clean...a wonderful choise for every day perfume..well done Korres!!!!!

I had a bottle of this and it's a very sweet floral, very feminine. I regret giving it away at 1/3rd because I could never find it in any store ever again. I liked how natural the perfume was what you're not getting with mainstream and premium brands that use a lot of synthetic oils (though Korres seems to have broken through though still as a cleaner and more natural premium brand, I've seen them in Sephora and other shops, before it was only available on niche websites with natural cosmetics and the perfume was advertised as the cleaner option for perfumes without phthalates and other substances). Now, the closest I got to it is Iris by Molinard.

glitterlust - I completely agree! I tested this with the expectations of a peppery, woodsy floral. Maybe a tad sweetness but it is indeed in the same category as LVEB and maybe Flowerbomb. But for me this is the first in this "scent family" that I actually quite like! Update: This has amazing longevity, I could still smell it in the late evening. The woody notes are also very prominent in the dry down. Love!

Three years ago sweet fragrantican Perseia brought me a bottle of this fragrance from Greece. It's sweet- powdery, a bit like LVEB but less sweet- agressive, more powdery mild on violet-iris direction. I'm in phase when I can't stand patchouli and on my skin doesn't project at all. Definitely I 'd try other Korres scents but it seems only when I'm going to travel to Greece- I hope it happen soon.
