La Violette Annick Goutal for women

I feel a lot violets and leaves. Additionally I feel some fruit and the tea ealy grey. The pleasant scent but intensive. Try in Your skin :)

Perhaps I'm all violetted out- I have been sampling a lot of violet fragrances lately- but I'm really disappointed by this one. To me, it smells almost just like violet essential oil. I smell the candied aspect, but not the appealing fresh quality of a bouquet of violets-and it has a spicy warmth to it that makes me think of autumn rather than spring-

I expected much more from reading other's reviews-

Unlike most Goutals, I am not picking up any green notes in this one- also, on the positive side, this fragrance has much better potency and longevity as compared to others from this line.

Annick Goutal's La Violette is quite a delightful take on a natural violet accord. It's a little greener than I expected, but still beautiful nonetheless.

Spring comes to mind when I smell La Violette. It's fresh, watery and clean. I detect a hint of crushed mint in this composition, which is a little piercing and green in the opening. It soon settles into a soft, slightly candied violet, which is thankfully not powdery like most violet scents tend to be.

It smells like something smelt from nature itself, like the feeling of inhaling fresh blooms. Annick Goutal's soliflores, while not overly complex or rich, really capture the essence of the flower itself. Although linear, La Violette is captivating from beginning to end.

La Violette is an intriguing fragrance to say the least, and a surprisingly strong one at that. I applied this fragrance before bed, and a good 12 hours later I could still catch wafts of it every now and then.

I wouldn't dare to wear this in the colder weather as it is such a cheerful and bright scent. All the soliflores from this collection were most likely designed with Spring in mind. La Violette is lovely in an unexpected and delicate kind of a way. It's very concentrated and quite expressive, and for that alone, La Violette is high on my list of recommendations for violet or floral lovers.

This is the only Annick Goutal perfume I've felt a strong urge to scrub off. *sigh* At least it's helping me realize I simply don't like violet as a soliflore or dominant note, as many others say it's the best violet they've experienced. Others also say it's more woodsy, spicy or green than other violet scents. But on me, it starts and remains sickly sweet but gains more of a powdery undertone. (Lucky me.)

It's not cheap-sweet like I find many artificial sweet fruity scents, which truly offend me. It's sweet and powdery without much else; not tacky and not sophisticated either; not on the heavy and cloying end of sweet but merely a strong, sweet, powdery violet that predominates. It smells how I'd imagine a rich 6-year-old girl's bedroom to smell in olden days. That might only be because my mother always favored violet scents.

Most of the other Annick Goutal perfumes I've tried, I've found airy and lovely. This one isn't poorly-made, but it is one that doesn't suit me. I have it but didn't pick it out for myself and wouldn't have. It also doesn't seem to work for everyone's skin chemistry, judging from my experience.

This is superb! The most authentic violet scent I've ever tested. I am getting a full bottle soon.

this is such a beautiful violet scent. I can smell the green and the flower and it smells just wonderful!

Like Veruska said already: charming. This is a fresh sweet and green violet melody.

This bursts out of the bottle, it comes out strong and hot. Almost medicinal and burning, as if it has some potent herbs inside. Floral Green....could almost be a Woody Spicy..Unisex...The turkish rose is nice, but not to strong. This seems to be purley violets, and as the notes denote, leaves included. This scent never becomes dainty, powdery, or "youthful and balmy" as the description says. Balmy? It's biting. I would say mature, fresh, and brave. As it fades, at the very end of wear, it does become sweetened. It lasted much longer on me than any other Annick Goutal, it lasted two and a half hours. Ah, a divine breeze! Seems to be an antique scent!

Now that i've smelled this lovely stuff I really want a bottle of it! Violets have always been in my garden, used to decorate my cupcakes, and even worn in my hair a few times. Violets bring back the feelings of the happy freedom of childhood, while still smelling refined and feminine. Goutal has always been one of my favorites, and while Eau de Charlotte has always been my favorite, I hope to put this one right next to it some day. If you love sweet but fresh scents, and more specifically if you know you love violets this scent is ideal for you!

Just downright pretty. Simple, light, feminine, green-rose-violet scent that could be worn by any age, I think.

Some violet scents go all musty-powdery on me, but not this one. It's lovely.

This is a very delightful sweet green (more violet leaf)rose combo that probably brings you the most charming violet soliflore on earth
