Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Virgin Violet Eau de Parfum

An ultra-soft, poetic violet swathed in iris and powdery musks, The Virgin Violet is a masterclass in quiet luxury. Serene, tender, and effortlessly refined, it envelops with subtlety rather than projection.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Love Intense Eau de Toilette

A truly gorgeous powdery floral that divides opinion, but those who love it truly adore it. It's a cashmere sweater in scent form, a more intense and elegant take on the original, perfect for those who appreciate a rich, mature floral with a hint of vanilla.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Virgin Violet Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

The floral-powdery and green profile makes it ideal for spring when violets bloom, while the soft musk and vanilla allow it to transition into cooler summer and fall days. Its gentle, non-heavy composition is less suited for winter’s depth.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

The scent’s soft projection and clean, powdery feel make it perfect for office and casual wear, while its gentle elegance also fits a romantic date. It is understated for formal events and lacks freshness or vibrancy for sporty use.

Love Intense Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

This perfume's rich, intense floral and balsamic accords, combined with impressive longevity and sillage, make it better suited for evening and formal wear. While some find it appropriate for the office if applied lightly, its strength leans more towards special occasions than everyday casual or sport.
