Maison Violet Tanagra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Nathalie Lorson. Tanagra opens with Freesia, Pear, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Maison Violet's Tanagra carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a delicate, airy floral that aims for sophisticated femininity. While some find it enchanting and beautifully blended, others are left underwhelmed by its subtlety and fleeting nature. It's divisive; some call it art, others call it boring.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and soft sillage make it suitable for office wear, where it won't overpower. The delicate floral-fruity profile is perfect for casual daytime use and can be charming on a date, but lacks the gravitas for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Tanagra opens with a bright, sweet kiss of tangerine and juicy pear, softened by the delicate freshness of freesia. The heart blossoms into a powdery, elegant iris alongside plush peony and a hint of jasmine, creating a soft, almost ethereal floral bouquet. It settles into a clean, musky base with whispers of dry cedar and earthy vetiver, maintaining a gentle, refined presence.
