Yardley London 2015 EDT
April Violets Contemporary Edition
Yardley London April Violets Contemporary Edition is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. April Violets Contemporary Edition opens with Citrus and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Mimosa, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Powdery, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Yardley London's April Violets Contemporary Edition carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.
This contemporary take on April Violets is a divisive one. Fans of the original will likely be disappointed by its departure, offering a green, powdery, and sometimes earthy composition that barely whispers of violets. If you like soft, calming, and introspective scents, it might be for you - otherwise, buyer beware.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its subtle nature and low sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear where it won't offend. However, its poor longevity and quiet character make it less ideal for formal occasions, dates, or sports where a more impactful scent is often desired.
