I miss Violet

All my TDC fragrances are so shway. If I have to classify them, I would split them in two categories. The Comforters - Sel de Vetiver, Osmanthus, Bergamote. These are the ones to chill out to, all done with great materials and craft, which is quite the standard for TDC. And the Muffin Fluffers - Un Nuit Magnetique, Aurore Nomade, Rose Poivree. These are the ones to funk to. Especially the last one. It hits hard. Based solely on the notes IMV should have been easily a MF. But to my nose it’s a strange and unexpected comforter. Tender as a purple silk scarf, fitting like a black leather glove, a soft porn that could have easily been that special pay-per-view hardcore exclusive. It does ease the mind. Somewhat distanced, nostalgic, cold, IMV is clearly conceived as a love letter to someone i loved but never had the chance to love. A symbol of unrequited desire, I simultaneously love and miss the protagonist in this beautiful tale from TDC. Weirdly comforting, as sadness can sometimes be. *****

A perfume of strong impact, a unique and mysterious harmony. The opening I really like, and immediately reveals the strong note of violet leaves... it is elegant and modern, a scent that can not be missed in my collection is very well balanced. A beautiful and sophisticated violet-leather collar reveals itself in the drydown, the mimosa looks shy but there is... it's a swirl of notes and beautiful shades. I love this, and I can say it's among my favorites at The Different Company! I fell in love!!! Sillage: 7.5/10 Longevity: 8./10 Scent: 9/10 Overall: 9./10

What is this sparkling and fizzy opening, and where can I get more of it? I absolutely love how at first IMV is a not necessarily fresh, but still almost aquatic floral, and then very smoothly transitions to a floral leather. Damn good stuff.

Violets and champagne! I’ve never found a perfume that captures the scent (and feeling!) of champagne so effectively. It’s definitely a unique and interesting creation. No sad violets here - these petals are here to party!

My sample of I Miss Violet is my first experience with The Different Company, and I have to say I'm impressed. Like others have mentioned this is a pretty light scent in terms of sillage and longevity, but what it lacks in power it more than makes up for in its bold, unique scent profile. Smooth, soft suede and naturally sweet violets are the two main components to my nose, and they’re a match made in heaven, but many of the other notes are noticeable too throughout the development - it's a complex scent with lots of depth, without being incoherent. At first there's a great note of waxy lipstick iris, then there are lovely hints of green that waft up from time to time, and there's even a surprisingly fresh fruity aspect in there that provides a nice contrast to the sweetness of the florals. All in all I agree with Nooshin's review below: I Miss Violet is a wonderful choice for leather lovers who like their scents on the feminine side of unisex. I'm adding this to my decant wishlist too - I'm not entirely sure yet whether I think it's exceptional enough for its high price tag, especially given the disappointing longevity, but it's certainly lovely!
