Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet beloved scent, Violet Blonde is pure glamour-puss vibes. Some find it a bold, sexy masterpiece, while others are put off by a 'harsh' opening or a prominent 'old-fashioned' powdery violet. It's a snatched-wig moment of sophistication.
If you're after a sophisticated, modern iris experience without breaking the bank, this one's a solid shout. It's a proper grown-up scent that delivers on its promise of elegance and depth.
