La Violette

Obviously, the creative concept of La Violette revolves around the violet, a flower that symbolizes tenderness and mystery, which carries with it an aura of delicacy and charm, with its subtle and striking fragrance. There is something mysterious about its aroma, which evokes both softness and depth, balancing the ephemeral and the eternal. In perfumery, not only the flower but also its leaves are celebrated for their slightly fresh and powdery nuances, full of uniqueness and capable of giving a nostalgic and elegant touch to compositions. For me, La Violette was love at first sniff! I have already stated, in other reviews that I have published, my affection for fragrances that feature the violet flower more prominently, as they remind me of a Portuguese perfume that my maternal grandfather wore. Pure olfactory memory! This time, La Violette brings back many of these memories and touches the skin with a fresh and luminous opening of pear and mandarin, bringing a softly citrusy sweetness that is, at the same time, juicy and crisp. In the heart, the violet takes center stage in harmony with the rose, which reinforces the delicacy of the composition. Here, the color is purple and the florality is delicately unisex, even for those men who are more concerned with gender in perfumery. The base is sophisticated and comforting, with patchouli, amber, cedar, and musk, offering an enveloping and long-lasting finish. As the hours go by, this amber begins to exhale and, together with the musk, adds a sensual effect to the innocence of the violet. La Violette has a traditional side that is in keeping with its aim of paying homage to the eternal flowers of French perfumery, and for this reason, it has characteristics that are now seen as dated. But that is only for those who do not appreciate perfumery, but rather the fads of social media. For me, La Violette is a masterpiece in its simplicity: discreet, but capable of captivating with its authenticity. Although it has a moderate projection, it sticks to my shirt every time I wear it and is a true must-have for lovers of floral fragrances who value timeless sophistication and elegance. Buy a bottle while you can!

Love in Black smells AWFUL, Insolence is AMAZING. Are you really rating these because they smell like them or are you saying that because they both have violets? Very confused because LIB was literally the worst thing I've ever smelled and Insolence is my violet perfume that launched a violet obsession.
