Devon Violets
by Aidees

Way back in the 1970's, a time before a lot of you basenoters were even born, a young Theodora was having a love affair with Devon Violets. It's still a wonderful scent. Oh, how I love the smell of violets!

I'm working on the assumption that the Aidees version is the same as Lowdnes Pateman version that I have.
(A googling for Aidees gave me only Yorkshire Dale Violets)

It is a really simple scent, and lovely. It's quite powdery and if that makes you think little old lady then you probably should stay away. Personally I like smelling a bit old fashioned sometimes. For me it is the scent version of Swizzels-Matlow's fine sweeties, with less sugar, and no teeth rotting.
It is a slightly alarming green colour though. Just close your eyes and smell it.
