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, Orris, 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 powdery-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.

About

April Violets opens with a whisper of green violet leaf and a faint, fleeting citrus. The heart quickly emerges as a dominant powdery accord, blending with dry orris and a hint of indistinct florals. The base settles into a soft, dry sandalwood with a gentle vanilla undertone, grounding the ethereal powder. It's more of a feeling than a distinct floral.
