    If African Violet is just the flowers, ma’am, and Devon Violets is flowers + green leaves, Violetta di Parma is the whole thing. Green leafy notes, sweet but somehow un-powdery violet, and just a...

    Beautiful, pure beauty, femininity and innocence in a bottle. I was looking for a replacement for my beloved Versace baby rose jeans which has been discontinued, I absolutely loved that perfume for...

    I've become a violet lover, and Borsari (launched 1870) is probably my favorite of my several "soliflore" violet perfumes (although all named "Violet" really contain many other notes). I'm wearing...

    Borsari VIOLETTA DI PARMA is a gorgeous fragrance. It is basically a violet "soliflore" fragrance, meaning that one flower is really all it's about, even though that violet note is quietly...

    I am a HUGE fan of violet perfumes that smell like Chowards violet candies in the purple tin foil. I purchased this last year hoping to get something like that and it was far from the smell I...

    N.B.--I have what may be an older bottle. The juice is green, the cap is a gold ball, and the box has a strolling lady in a long, pink dress. The violet note itself is incredibly fine. It is...

    OH MY GOODNESS! I find this scent graceful and modest yet powerful and enrapturing. Works well with my body chemistry that seems to make many scents too sweet and cloying. VdP stays calm and smooth...

    Violets and not much more. Just pretty and sweet almost candy-ish without being cloying. Long lasting and classic. Not too expensive either.

    Why am I getting a banana type smell- like a slightly under ripe greenish banana thing going on ? This is a disappointment for me! So definitely too 'green' for me ! More violets please !!!!!!!

    This is my favorite violet scent. It is also one of the cheapest ones you can get here in Italy. Neither too powdery nor excessively sweet, this is a soft violet scent that stays close to the...

    I just received a sample of this yesterday. Not only is the lasting power close to zero, it quickly turns to a musty attic smell...faint, but nonetheless detectable. In fact, I just saw a friend to...

    I didn't like this scent. I guess I prefer my violets a little sweeter than those used here. I thought this fragrance smelled sort of dirty (sorry, that's the only word that comes to mind), like it...

    I must be in the minority on this scent. I do not like it. It smells cheap and kind of stinky (an old lady scent) to me. I find it to be a weak fragrance with little lasting power. I am a major...

    Violetta di Parma is a wonderfully light, comely scent evocative of a cool March morning: a bit chilly, a bit wet, but mostly green. Normally, violet perfumes morph into a sickeningly powdery,...

    Violetta di Parma-Violets cut with green grass where the the sweetness of the violet is a nostalgic memory. Think of the flowers drying on a bamboo mat before they become a candied treat or...

    Reading the reviews on Violetta di Parma is almost like plucking petals from a daisy: sweet. .. not sweet. . . sweet. . . not sweet. My petal landed on "sweet." Violetta di Parma does strike me...

    I adore this scent--it is the violet I had been searching for! On me, I find it to be a very sweet, candied violet with a slightly powdery dry down. I agree that the lasting power is not great,...

    This is a lovely fragrance......so sweet and feminine, old-fashioned too, but in nice, vintage-victorian way, not old ladyish. Smells like a violet patch, dry down is slightly powdery, but still...
