Soft violet complemented by iris, cedar, vetiver, violet leaf, a touch of rose, myrrh, and tonka bean. A unique and unconventional violet fragrance with fresh aspects from the green violet leaf and woodsy additions from the cedar, vetiver, and tonka.

Perfumer's Comments: One of my earliest perfumes as a girl was a violet soliflore housed in a pretty little ceramic bottle hand-painted with violets. It was an intense violet scent with a hint of green. I'd often remove the stopper, perched above a pretty lavender satin ribbon, just to sniff the contents. Now and then I'd dab it on my hand and sniff on and off for hours. I didn't grow scented violets until many years later (I’d only seen the scentless varieties when I was young), but I loved my early bottled introduction to violet fragrance. I wanted Voile de Violette to be a soft violet with a touch of green, similar to my memory of that long-ago scent but softened with gentle woods.

Fragrance Notes: violet, iris, hint of rose, cedar, vetiver, violet leaf, tonka bean, hay, myrrh.
The nose behind the fragrance is Laurie Erickson. The perfume was launched in December 2007.

I'm discovering that there are many ways to handle the violet note. In this composition it is very woody, earthy and deep (brings to mind my visits to European castles where I saw rooms lined with walnut overlay instead of tapestries)

While I"m not the biggest fan of this earth heavy note, I"m also not opposed to it, and when the powdery iris and green hay appear I find it quite comforting. However, there is something here that just doesn't work for me, a sweet note, possibly the tonka bean or myrrh. It's the olfactory equivalent of stepping into one of those walnut overlaid rooms, running your eyes over the velvet covered furniture, ornate dressing tables, majestic paintings, and then a lava lamp in the corner.

'What's this?' you'd say. It would be out of place, not right. When everything else is conservative, deep and rich, this flamboyant flair is not necessary. It would ruin your experience, and you' would move on to a different room.

I was really disappointed in this one- it seemed sharp, spicy and dusty, somehow-

Old Spice meets violet dust

probably better for a man than for a woman-

Well, I never regarded myself as a violet-fragrance-lover, but after becoming familiar with the Voile de Violette I have to change my mind. Violet flowers, leaves, moss and that nice feeling of sitting in the shadow of big trees - that's what I can find in it. It's just extremely beautiful, natural and long-lasting - especially as it's a fresh summer fragrance! I'm finishing my first bottle and definitely will buy another one.
