Violet perfume?

21 replies

Have just found out that Penhaligons have discontinued the Violetta scent. Am bereft!

Any suggestions for replacements? Am looking for as single a note as possible...have tried other violet perfumes before and nearly always the key scent I'm hankering after is lost in lots of others.

Kerbside violet from lush smells of violets.

M&S stock 'sweet violet' made by Monotheme.

What about Library of Fragrance - they do a violet one.

Perfume Parlour - Violets Blonde. Absolutely gorgeous and only £2.25 for a 6ml oil which lasts ages Smile

The best of violet perfumes is Guerlain Apres L'Ondee - one of the most beautiful scents in the world (and one of the oldest - it was first made in the early 1900s). Description here.

YSL Paris, it's utterly divine 😊

pinkmagic1 · 17/05/2016 07:14

What about kenzo Flower?

missmartha01 · 17/05/2016 07:48

Gosh I love Apres l'Ondee, beautiful violets without being sweet.

Mummyoftwo91 · 17/05/2016 11:00

I wear the Armani diamonds Violet, my daughter is Violet so it's my favourite

mmmkayyyy · 17/05/2016 11:03

Yardley

Branleuse · 17/05/2016 11:03

kenzo flowers

I love violets in scent.
As much as I love Library of Fragrance, I'm afraid their violet one wasn't very good. Balmain Jolie Madame has violets in, as does Guerlain Insolence. I use Yardley April Violets alone or layered over perfume that's not violetty enough.

MissBattleaxe · 17/05/2016 11:06

Oh and Pell Wall Deep Purple is violetty. Try the website. They do a good sample service too.

Guerlain Apres l'Ondée is amazing, especially the initial burst of scent when you first put it on. (It reminds me of parma violets though - anyone else remember them? - so I can't wear it, but that's probably true of all violet scents).

Judydreamsofhorses · 17/05/2016 11:27

Frederick Malle Lipstick Rose is very violet-y.

MsBojangles · 17/05/2016 12:19

Annick Goutal, La Violette is very pretty.

cressetmama · 17/05/2016 12:29

Parfum de Therese is very violet intense.

HoggleHoggle · 17/05/2016 13:05

Lots of brilliant suggestions, thank you.

Apres L'Ondee sounds gorgeous. I'm actually aiming to smell like parma violets so that's all good Grin

Histoires des Perfumes do a Blanc Violette that is very violet but wearable.
But Kerbside Violet by Lush is amazing, and v Parma-violet!
