Anyone recommend a soft, powdery, sweet violet frag please?

[Eaumyword]

Yes please! I used to love Penhaligons Violetta, Angel and Angel Violette.
I now wear Shay and Blue Black Tulip, which is gorgeous, but I'm hankering for a second frag just for those days when you fancy a change.
It's more difficult at the mo to try scents with the old mask on, so could anyone suggest anything please?
Many thanks in advance!

Goodbye Piccadillyby 4160 Tuesdays is very violetty

Alaia Eau de Parfum Blanche is a powdery vanilla with loads of violet and very sweet (I now really want to try that Vanille Violet one).

Thanks, I'm hoping to be able to spray some of these suggestions onto paper cards today in the shops so I can get an idea of the scent.
Quite excited for my blind buy though - I will report back when it arrives!

Feerie by Van Cleef and Arpels

Doesn't often get mentioned but is a really lovely violet

@Baronessbomburst, aside from agreeing with you about Apres L'Ondee being quite the nicest softest violet, I'm rolling my trouser leg and giving you a secret handshake! Hope you are well. (Ex FZ, Italy blabla)

Hello! @TheSeedsOfADream
You still imbibing wine-based beverages in public spaces?

more like a cuppa these days, but yes. Still here. Still me.

No recommendations, but I wanted to thank you for the thread title, OP - in gaming a frag is a kill in a deathmatch. All those adjectives made for quite the mental image before I clocked that this is in S&B!

Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne might fit your description?

La Violette by Annick Goutal.

Very nice but rather pricey, unfortunately.

OP here's a selection of perfumes that contain violet notes. You can read the reviews of any individual scent to see how others described it.

I love violet scents and have most mentioned here.
Apres l'Ondee is not a powdery violet at all and unless it has been reformulated recently beyond recognition, is an iris/Hawthorne/heliotrope scent with the faintest hint of violet...

However there is a Guerlain that fits the bill exactly: Meteorites. A soft, lovely and frankly kissable scent! Similar to the violet part of Insolence without the Berry notes.

We aim to please, albeit unintentionally, haha! Update: scent is so completely individual, isn't it! I didn't like Kenzo Flower or Apres L'Ondee and thought Insolence was quite nice (you're right, you definitely get a hit of powdery soft violet.) I think my nose likes gourmand scents better, so vanilla and violet as opposed to a greener violet. I'm actually really excited therefore for Les Senteurs Vanille Violette to arrive. Hopefully that soft yummy scent I'm after. I got distracted in Molton Brown earlier and got a sample of Milk Musk - can't stop sniffing that! It's lovely! I remember two more scents I used to go mad for - Molton Brown Violet Vanilla and Jo Malone Rosewater and Vanilla cologne intense. Both sadly discontinued. I must just want to smell like sweets!

I have Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne. Its lovely, and not expensive.

Have you looked on 4160Tuesday for something a little different?

I'd be interested to see what you think of the LSV one when it arrives OP. Will you report back please?

Of course!

LSV Vanille Violette has arrived this morning, superfast postage.
It is GORGEOUS.
I can't stop sniffing my wrist!
It is that perfect mix of gentle violet and soft vanilla and it is quite reminiscent of my favourite Molton Brown discontinued Vanilla Violet from a couple of years ago.
Thank you so much, S&B experts - I'm absolutely thrilled with this blind buy. It's delicious.

Sorry, meant LSG (Les Senteurs Gourmandes)
Still happy with the drying down. It's yummiest edible parma violet sweeties!

Mojave Ghost by Byredo smells like parma violets to me.

I have Armani diamond violets it smells lovely sweet and fragrant.

OP, I'm so glad you liked the LSG (I knew it ticked all the boxes!)

It does appear to be discontinued though, so you might want to stock up!
