This is a gorgeous, pure violet that'll transport you straight to a spring garden. There's some grumbling about recent reformulations, but the original is widely hailed as a violet masterpiece - just don't expect it to last forever.

About

La Violette opens with a dewy, almost aquatic freshness, where verdant violet leaves intertwine with the delicate, sweet scent of violet flowers. As it settles, a soft, powdery rose emerges, adding a touch of classic elegance without overpowering the central violet theme. It's a beautifully balanced, natural-smelling floral-green composition that evokes images of fresh blossoms after a spring shower.
