    I only had an extremely small amount to try, unfortunately, but this was an exquisite violet fragrance with the Caron base. I loved it and would like to try more!

    What an interesting scent! It takes you on a journey. At initial spray, it gave me the Violet that I was looking for, with a somewhat dark, dry underscent, which was fairly appealing. After about...

    A little sweetness, a little green, very little violet.

    I adore this limited release edition from the past six months. It is a marvel. I normally detest sweet concoctions but this violet scent is a joy to smell. But be careful to ask for the limited...

    I've been a violet fanatic since childhood, and Violette Precieuse is maybe my favorite violet fragrance of all time. It lacks the powdery sweetness of many (if not most) violets- instead it is...

    Violet scents can get way too strong for me but this one is about right. It is the grown up version of DevonViolet, minus the green dye. A little sweet, a little green but very much violets and...

    I was anxiously awaiting the appearance of this reissue at Bergdorf's based on reviews of the original fragrance. Violet, Iris, Neroli. Three of my favorite notes. Unfortunately, this has proven to...

    I thought I'd love this after reading stellar reviews comparing it to my beauty Borsari Violetta di Parma.Not much of a comparison to me, VDP is still my numero uno, close second Pennhaligon's...

    I love some of the reviews for this. It is fairly similar to Borsari, but something about this gives it a slight edge over that one. Yes, it is velvety and dry. Yes, it is jewel-like and chic. ...

    Very green and very sharp on me. there's something about this one that gave me a slight headache...not sure what it was... It was sweeter than Borsai's Violetta di Parma, and drier. i'm not wild...

    I have to say I'm just a teensy bit disappointed with Violette Precieuse - maybe my expectations were too high? Although it starts off beautifully with a pure, green violet note, within an hour...

    Well, to me, this doesn't actually seem all *that* radically different to my nose than Borsai's Violetta di Parma: I do in fact consider them to be equally sweet, unlike the majority (totality?) of...

    If you like violet fragrances that evoke images of gossamer curtains undulating in a gentle breeze, then this one may not be for you. Violette Precieuse is a true Victorian violet; it's all rich...

    Violet fragrances are hard to make, but this one smells great. Very similar to real violets. Intensely floral. But I prefer Les Meteorites by Guerlain which is even more true to the flower.

    Deep, woody, earthy, velvety, grown-up violet. No added sweetness here, just pure nature. The initial scent is rather sharp and green, but thankfully it dissapated quickly into something deeper,...

    Lovely and well-grounded, earthy violet. Substantial, perfumey, low-pitched and gorgeous.

    Yet another classic fragrance felled by the bean-counters. Violette Precieuse, around since WW I, has been discontinued by Caron. It is still available on certain Websites. For that reason, I am...

    This is a very nice, slightly spicy yet simple, subtle violet. For some reason it makes me think of Boudoir, like if Boudoir was a violet note scent. Does that make any sense?

    Gorgeous packaging, beautiful bottle. This is much more spicy than violet on me. It's a sneaky, earthy, grown up spice up close. I can't tell--is it musky spicey? I only catch the violet when I'm...
