    So, I am presuming that you like violets because that is what you will get with this one. I love this particular violet although, it does tend to remind me of sweeties. Not so powdery as the...

    This is a very English violet that performs almost like two different scents on my skin. With a modest spritz, Violetta is a sheer, non-candied violet with darker, green undertones and the coolness...

    Smells exactly like English violets, which I discovered with delight on a visit there. (What a shame that American violets are scentless!). A quiet, well-bred fragrance, with a soft drydown.

    The first spray is a shocking and surprising green burst of violet, not at all powdery to me this is more wild in a pleasing way, It's not as sweet very reminisicent of Borsari's Violetta di Parma!...

    The drydown in this perfume is the winner. I tried it on during a visit to Aedes de Venustas and was very pleased with the way it smelled on my wrist. Definitely a keeper.

    I'm a fragrance newbie, but I have to review this. I love the smell of violets, and this fragrance is heaven. I had given up on finding a fragrance that wouldn't turn musky on my skin or gave me...

    This is another one of my favourite Penhaligon's as I love violets. It's bright, crisp fresh green and floral violets. I adore this. Bosari's violet perfume is not to my taste .

    When I started my quest for a violet soliflore, my top two choices were this and Violetta di Parma. And as it turned out, I love both of them. This opens strong, which is nice, since a lot of...

    This is a good candy violet, a bit on the green side, opening with a festive spring of citrus. Lovely. I wouldn't wear it for myself, though, because I think it's a bit childish. I sometimes dab a...

    As a violet fan, I really, really wanted to like this. The charming, apothecary style bottle, the delicate blue color of the juice...charming. But the actual scent itself is very strong and very...

    This, along with My Fair Lady (which also foregrounds violet, but marries it with rose) is my most favorite violet scent. I will preface this by saying that I am inconsistent in my likes and...

    This could possibly be my signature scent. It's not too powdery or sweet but rather smells cool, light and delicate. It's very unique and I can't wait to try the lotion, soap and bath oil.

    For 30 minutes or so after I've sprayed this on myself, it is an "UGH!"-inducing mess of harsh, HARSH Play-Doh and nasty violet candy. The final drydown, however, is the most pleasant surprise....

    Penhaligon's Violetta starts as a true violet, but soon changes into a rather bitter scent without violets on my wrist. It is close to the skin and it has a classy undertone, but overall I can't...

    Penhaligon's Violetta is my second-favorite violet soliflore after Devon Violets. It starts out with a tiny hint of the same sourness Bluebell has, but it quickly fades to a sweet, slightly...

    This has a rather fruity kick to it at the beginning and then it begins to remind me of Salon Selectives--but in a good way. Then it smells like violets; yes, the leaves and stems are there. ...
