Violettes de Toulouse Eau de Parfum

I think William Shakespeare said it best... "A violet in the youth of primy nature, forward, not permanent, sweet,not lasting; the perfume and the suppliance of a minute." I have searched for a violet soliflore that was strong and lasted...but the truth is that violet is sweet and fleeting. Violettes de toulouse is very close to my heart...sweet powdery pure violet. It doesn't get better than that. I want to add a few more words that are in my heart...this violet is like no other. The violets are like some magical enchantedland, a place that exisits only in my dreams. They are violets made of the finest, thinnest paper, like they came right out the pages of a bible. Soft, delicate, and powdered by the cherubs that guard them. Utterly beautiful, this will always have a special place in my heart.

This is one of the perfumes my mom wore when I was growing up, so it holds a very special place in my heart. I recently was able to acquire a vintage version of it through Ebay (the one with the pear atomizer) and I couldn’t be happier. I hadn’t forgotten how beautiful it was but I was still impressed when I got to smell it again. Oh lord, the nostalgia. I still remember spraying this on generously and using the bottle to play princesses with my sister... It really did feel that luxurious to spray on, but to be fair, all puff atomizers do :D The scent is a beautiful violet solinote that lasts for a few hours. It’s discreet, it’s cute, it’s feminine...I hope I get to keep this around forever.

Certainly one of the best perfumes I've ever tried. This is why I bought it twice and I'm looking for a third bottle to buy. All times classic scent, purely and authentically flowerish, elegant, 'playful', femimine but discrete too. This perfume refuses to 'age', would suite everybody, even a teen girl. It is meant for those who love old scents that recall barock ages, also for those who love pure floral scents, spring flowers. It is a distinctive perfume. Only disadvantage: it doesn't last very long, even though a parfum, not an EDT. This hasn't stopped me from continously buying it though. Add I bought and stocked another bottle to a great price.

this is the cutest perfume I own ! it really smells like violettes de Toulouse (the flower and the candy as well). the only problem I have is that it really doesn't last long : 1 hour and there is just a veeeryy light soapy smell left ; i'm not even sure it's the perfume, maybe it's my soap :-D it lasts a bit longer on my scarf. it's a really pretty perfume, I also love the box and the bottle, with the bulb sprayer and the tassel :)

Nice, sweet, feminine and romantic. I love it : only violets, fruity notes and musk. It smells like violet candies. It reminds me Delice des Fleurs - L'Occitane (which has been created later). Correct lasting power.
