How do I love Violetta di Parma...let me count the ways.

This is my ideal rainy spring day scent. Or a scent for that glorious day when it's finally warm enough to wear a skirt again in spring? That day when you are so thrilled to pack away your wool...

Violets without the powderiness - perfect combination. Light floral that comes across clean yet soft. Lovely!

I got this fragrance about a year and a half ago, after having read many great reviews on MUA.
I simply cannot get enough of it and it has become a staple.

This perfume makes me so darn happy. It does something very interesting on my skin: at first it smells like violet petals, which is a light green scent, and then it just morphs into the sweetness...

Straight up, fresh and strong violets with a touch of vibrant green. Surprising though, after it's first flash of powerful violets, it quickly softens right down with a soft flower mixing, my nose...

I thought that this was a nice fragrance but I do not feel the need nor desire to own it. On my skin it remained light and barely noticeable to one's nose. DH and I both thought that the fragrance...

A simply charming violet floral. I love the notes of hyacinth and lily of the valley and I detect a bit of lilac in the dry down. Fresh, sweet, violet shines through, becoming the focal point.

Like Fontana Deco, this has a pineapple note. However, unlike Fontana Deco, that note seems less sweet and heavy due to the "lift" given by the citrus and floral notes. It's a light fruity floral...

This fragrance reminds me of a classic Patou due to its strong pineapple note and a headiness lacking in today's fragrances.

I have both Violetta di Parma and this one. I'd say the difference between the two is that Violetta di Parma is a pure violet scent, while this one is more of a bouquet of flowers with a strong...

I have been on a violet quest for some time...I was convinced I needed a blend that incorporated some wood or moss or SOMETHING to offset a mainly violet scent's inherent powderiness. I've tried...

Beautiful, clean, unobtrusive violet scent. I love it!

I wasn't disappointed by this. A simple, sweet, shy, unassuming violet fragrance. On me its more earthy than candy-ish, which is fine with me. I like it because, as simple as it is, it stands...

Thank you to Liongirl for introducing me to this lovely fragrance. Most violet scents are too powdery and cloyingly sweet for me, so I've not worn many. This one is is a most welcome departure,...

Yes, this scent is truly lovely. A light, sweet fragrance that, while being floral, doesn't seem overly so. There are definitely green notes that temper the sweetness. Lasts a good while on me and...
