The Different Company I miss Violet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. I miss Violet opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, Champaca, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Iris, Violet, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Mahogany, and Vanilla. The Different Company's I miss Violet carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your granny's violet; it's a playful, modern take, with some finding it a sparkling champagne-like delight and others a perplexing pickle juice. If you're after a bold, complex violet-leather that whispers rather than shouts, give it a go, but expect it to be divisive.

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 Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its moderate sillage makes it suitable for office wear, while its complex, intimate nature is ideal for dates and casual outings. The delicate balance of notes prevents it from being overpowering, though its uniqueness might be too niche for very 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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

I Miss Violet opens with a sparkling, almost effervescent burst of mandarin and green violet leaf, quickly joined by the unique, creamy floralcy of champaca and a hint of nutmeg's spice. The heart unfolds into a soft, powdery blend of iris and violet, underscored by the gentle sweetness of mimosa and osmanthus. As it settles, a smooth, refined leather note emerges, mingling with warm vanilla, earthy mahogany, and a subtle touch of ambergris, creating a sophisticated and deeply nuanced drydown.
