Yardley London April Violets Fragrance Mist is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. April Violets Fragrance Mist opens with Citrus and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Mimosa, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Powdery, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Yardley London's April Violets Fragrance Mist carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a real wild card. Some love its green violet charm, while others find its opening a bit... well, 'bug spray'. Definitely a warm weather wonder; steer clear when it's chilly unless you fancy smelling like you've been wrestling aphids.

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:

Built on powdery, violet floral and floral - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh floral profile make it suitable for casual wear and the office, especially in warmer weather. It lacks the gravitas for formal events and isn't quite dynamic enough for dates, though it is lovely post-shower.

About

April Violets opens with a sharp, green zing from violet leaf and citrus, quickly ushering in a delicate heart of powdery violet, sweet mimosa, and a hint of rose and peach. The base settles into a soft, somewhat woody and vanillic powder, offering a clean, floral embrace. Don't expect huge projection, it's more of a personal bubble scent.
