Violet

In the beginning of my fragrance journey I really wanted to know a true violet. This was a health food store find, (purchased along with a 2 others by the brand Pacifica- Persian rose & Sicilian lemon, GORGEOUS layering combo!), when both brands were in their infancy (2016-ish?). Anyway, Petals in Bloom Violet is a watery, pure violet fragrance - leaves and all - drying down to a true, semi-sweet, powdery floral violet. A great value for the experience of violet soliflore; although the longevity is not great. This may be because of age (at least eight years old) and the fact it is a roll on. Before dropping big bucks on violet-forward scents by Guerlain or Frederic Malle, for example, this little Olivina Napa Valley roll on perfume is a great way to see how violet works for you. It's how I decided I do in fact adore this clean, rich, purple floral note. 🟣🌸🍃💜

Pretty packaging, strong, sugary, powdery violet soliflore. There's no mystery, surprise, or evolution with this one: you're getting exactly what it says on the label. Reminds me of a stronger, more powdery, possibly more chemical version of Paco Rabanne's Ultraviolet.

These were on clearance at Walgreens. I think I paid 3.00 for mine? It was very watery, but a very appealing violet. It lasted a few hours. Pretty glass roll on. It was/is a great little day perfume for when you've absolutely nothing with you...nothing more.
