I own this one as well. Lovely, sweet, powdery violets with a hint of green and cedar.

My literature says, "A soft powdery violet scent with a heart of roses, resting on a suble Cedarwood and Oak Moss base". True enough, but you'll hardly smell anything but sweet violets here. It was my first violet scent and still my favourite. The sillage and longevity are fantastic and I feel wreathed in a halo of violets all day long.

Apparently named for Napoleon's lover, who adored violets over all other scents.
