FrostFrench / other violet perfume?

I've got some FrostFrench shower gel, handwash and handcream, that all smells a bit like parma violets, its so lovely! I'd really love to get some perfume similar, but haven't found any. I asked in Debenhams who usually stock the FrostFrench bits and they said there isn't a perfume, there has been one in previous years but even when there is they only stock it at Christmas :( Anyone know of a FrostFrench perfume or another perfume that smells like violets? I did test the Yardley violet perfume but it was not at all what I'm looking for (being tactful in case anyone reading this uses it Wink )

I wear Violet Blonde by Tom Ford as my work perfume.

www.penhaligons.com/shop/fragrance/shop-by-fragrance/violetta/violetta-eau-de-toilette-100ml-496750.html is nice. I don't find it as sickly as some violet scents can be.

Chloe love reminds me a bit of parma violets

Thanks! Who knew there were so many. i will write them down and get testing next time I'm in town. I get so overwhelmed byt the perfume choice, an they all start to smell the same after a while! This will narrow it down nicely. Northey at £80 a bottle I'd hope it was more than nice Shock

Another recommendation for Penhaligans' Violetta. Often on offer at Bicester if that helps...

Or if you live near a stockist you can go in and spray yourself for free Blush

Oh, and this is the originator of them all - www.rose-apothecary.co.uk/acatalog/15ml_Dimple.html So cheap you may as well get it just to try.

Dd always buys a bottle of Devon Violets for me at Christmas (as pp's link).

I spotted a new one on the Fragonard website recently, called Violette.
