    La Violette may well be the most pleasant violet I have ever smelt. It is well-balanced, softspoken, innocent and feminine. It starts as a sweet violet like many others have noted but on my skin it...

    I'm a huge violet fan so I loved this. It's a very genuine violet scent, the best part of MJ daisy IMO is the violet accord. This isn't however a heady floral at all, it's pretty warm and settles...

    I am not a huge violet fan, but if I had to choose the best one, this would be it. This is delicate, light and whimsical. Goes on a little sharp but dries very soapy clean (in a nice way).

    La Violette took me by surprise, I didn't know previously that violets were sweet . Furthermore, the fragrance is a little odd in that it doesn't come off as a floral, at least not florals that I...

    Annick Goutal's Violette is correctly described by others as starting out as candy sweet. It has the initial sweet bite of powdered sugar used in baking-- very linearly sweet like a sugar cube (not...

    I like a lot of Annick Goutal fragrances, but, recently I tried La Violette for the first time and I LOVE it! At first it smells like violet candy, but it quickly develops into a beautiful green...

    This is about as close to an HG violet as I've found. It starts out pleasantly (not cloyingly) candylike, and as other reviewers have noted, there is an almondy accord that accentuates the violet...

    Love it. So pretty with some green effervesce. Many times, violet can be cloyingly sweet, but not this one. I have a feeling it will be especially outstanding in the summer, but works beautifully...

    Let me preface this by saying that normally I hate violette (this did not change my mind), and this was all sweet powdery candied violette for 10-15 minutes, then it turns into a wonderful fresh...

    One of my favourite violets. It starts off on the sweeter side - like Violet candies, but dries down to a spicey dry violet. A bit peppery in the same vein as Keiko Mecheri Genie des Bois. This is...

    Delicate, elegant, classic violet scent. It is sweet as per usual (violets), but less powdery than a lot of other violet scents I've tried. Dry and subtle, with almost an almondy accord. When I...

    This was a nice discovery! Annick Goutal's Violette reminds me of some childhood candies I used to eat as a kid. It's a sweet single-noted fragrance, nice sniffing (oh, it brings back so many...

    I usually don't like Goutal's perfumes and I rarely wear soliflores, but when I first smelled "la violette" I felt in love. I've bought it last week and since then I get compliments from both men...

    This smells different than most violet fragrances to me... I let my mother smell it and it reminded her of jordan almonds. It does come off a bit almondy when you think of it. I like it because...

    I found this to be a thin violet soliflore. I much prefer violet offerings by Borsari and Quelques Violettes, but then I tend to like fuller floral arrangements.
