Violette

What I was after exactly. It smells like C Howard’s violet pastilles which are floral, chalky and soapy. It’s what I imagine Victorian Valentine cherubs smell like or what little purple fairies dab behind their ears when they’re getting gussied up, peering into a dewdrop to see their reflection. This is an old fashioned, ladylike violet scent without unnecessary surprises. It’s very good for the price and if you’re concerned about its longevity you’ll be thrilled to know that they make a mini spray bottle that’s perfectly sized for your purse.

I was looking for something that’s smells just like C Howard’s violet candies and this, I love. I use it very occasionally as a man, but I believe this scent can be unisex, though totally floral, and of course leaning toward feminine. I could see this being layered with any scent you think needs more violet. Sweet, powdery, peppery. Pure violet essence

This is a straight up old-fashioned violet. And I mean that in the best way, since I am a lover of vintage fragrances. At first the woody notes come through, plus some sweetness. Then comes the fragrance of the blossoms themselves, potent(but not overpowering) and velvety. Violette truly captures the romance of the violet.

I bought this blind recently, wanting a violet pastille sort of violet. It lives up to that initially- it's a violet soliflor, isn't overly sweet, and has hints of green as well. The drydown gets a bit soapy, slightly chalky and a tad bitter, reminding me of violet bath cubes, and smelling rather old fashioned (not necessarily a bad thing). Don't love this element of the drydown. The early phase is what I was looking for in a violet perfume and it lasts that way on clothing better than on skin. All-in-all, for 20 bucks, it's a nice violet to have around and I'll probably use it as an environmental scent as well.

Lovely sweet violets scent. Powdery at first, candy like, almost like cherries in a mix. It's quite pleasant take on violets, since it's not that powdery. I find many violet scents are more on a mature side and some might avoid it because they can be too strong and serious. However, check this one out. I really like it! Has a nostalgic European feel. Nicely done. Only complaint is it lasts 3 hrs, its there but barely afterwards. Strong at first, but it's a light chill scent. Yummy, candy violets. I'd say notes are: violets, cherries and whiff of citrus.
