Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Violette EDP
A truly poetic, delicate take on violet, Chloe Violette is a soft, fairy-like fragrance. The photorealistic floral note is undeniably lovely, but be warned: the performance is as fleeting as a childhood memory. A real heartbreaker for a scent this beautiful.

Our Verdict - Parma Violet EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Notes of Parma Violets - a powdery fragrance led by Violet Leaf, with musky depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Violette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate sillage and short longevity make it an ideal choice for everyday wear and the office, as it won't overpower. The gentle floral nature suits casual settings perfectly, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

Parma Violet

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the powdery, musky profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the powdery accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
