Beauty-to-Wear Vintage Chic

Pure Parma violets. Not my thing.

Pout’s Vintage Chic is a flirty, powdery violet fragrance. It could pass as the breezy and carefree kid sister of Bvlgari Eau de Parfum II in its composition. I cannot help but want to wear vintage floral blouses and worn-out, faded jeans with this fragrance. (Actually, the entire Beauty-To-Wear collection evokes that feeling of wanting to cruise thrift shops and go antiquing.) VC honestly lives up to its name. I love violet fragrances; I would even say I am head-over-heels obsessed with violets. I associate the scent of violets with the euphoric rush of emotions that come with falling in love. Save the dominant scent of roses for those who have established their status as lovers—violets are for those who have yet to confess their love for one another. This fragrance captures that innocence and has a way of lingering—for hours, no less—in such a sweetly romantic manner. VC borders on being a soliflor but the citrus notes keep it light and fresh. The scent of roses does eventually develop on the drydown but it is very faint. Overall, violet is the star here.

I have had this fragrance for years, I bought all 3 of the POUT fragrances when they were sold in Victoria's Secret. I love them all, but this one is simply the most romantic smell I have EVER smelled in my life. Maybe its because most of the time I prefer musky/sweet smells over floral, which is why I find this scent so unique, simply because I dont have any others like it. Either way, putting this on instantly makes me feel like im a teenager froliking outside with a cute boy. It makes you dream of the past, and feel youthful at the same time. I cant get tired of it, and I will be sad once mine is finished because I havnt seen this brand sold anyhwere else after VS stopped selling it :-( if you know of where else I can find this fragrance please let me know because I would LOVE to re-purchase it! This is a must have feminine smell.
