Yardley London April Violets is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1913. April Violets opens with Violet, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Yardley London's April Violets carries a Statement verdict, a violet floral-led wear.

Divisive and prone to reformulations, April Violets is either a nostalgic, sweet violet dream or a dated disappointment. Expect a light, powdery floral experience, but brace for potential 'grape soda' or worse if you catch the wrong batch.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Its gentle sillage and short longevity make it suitable for casual wear or as a personal comfort scent, where it won't overpower. While some find it office-appropriate due to its mildness, it's generally too subtle for formal events or a night out. It's expressly not for sport given its delicate floral character.

About

Yardley's April Violets opens with a candy-sweet, slightly green violet, reminiscent of Parma Violets. It then settles into a soft, powdery heart of lily of the valley, jasmine, and geranium, before a dry down into a gentle musk and vanilla. It’s a clean, subtly floral scent that aims for delicate charm.
