This is my second favorite pure, true violet, after Serge Lutens Bois de Violet. (I love Apres L'Ondee, but it is in a class of its own...more sweet with the anise...). It is both fresh and green, yet very violety, not too sweet nor too earthy. It is not as complex or deep as the SL, but quite, quite lovely! There are lots of notes listed, but I don't detect them much. There is just enough balance there to keep the violets from getting sour, as they often do on me, that is, if they aren't behaving like bad little gummie bears! I am so sad that this is discontinued! Why, oh why must I fall in love with these unattainables?!

A poem, a nosegay, a posy... tender violets after a spring rain peeping up from under crisp green leaves; hints of lily of the valley, rose, & hyacinth.

I love this perfume and wear it when I want something soft and delicate to hover around me. This is a scent that matches my cashmere sweaters, with pastel palette tones; an impressionist landscape by Monet.

The long-stemmed crystal-like flask with lavender tassel is lovely as well.

Painfully strong, spicy notes here -- really too much. Smells almost identical to Halston (Original) for Women -- an acquired taste itself.
