Our verdict on Violette: Favourite

If you love violets, this is a gorgeous, sweet, powdery, yet green take on the floral. It's affordable and generally well-loved, though some find it lacks punch. It's often compared to Guerlain's Insolence but with a fresher, lighter touch. Just be warned about the iffy staying power.

About

Violette opens with a burst of sweet violet, brightened by tart blackcurrant and zesty citrus. The heart reveals a fruity medley of peach and apple alongside the classic elegance of rose and jasmine, all while the violet persists. It settles into a powdery base of iris and violet leaf, grounded by a subtle musk.
