Caron relaunches Violette Precieuse

by Grant Osborne, 17 January 2007

Caron is relaunching its classic fragrance Violette Précieuse. The new version is based on the 1913 original by Caron founder and perfumer, Ernest Daltroff which was created in homage to his muse, Félicie Wanpouille.

Violette Précieuse combines Violet Flowers and Violet Leaves with delicate Iris and Orange Blossom, which explodes into Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley heart notes. At the base, a delicious combination of Raspberry and Vetiver is both sexy and smooth.

Eau de Parfum £39 /50ml from Selfridges, Harrods, Fortnum and Mason, Les Senteurs and selected perfumeries across the UK from March 2007. Available now from Sephora in France for €51.30
