    Mmm, this goes on like fresh, wet violets. It can be a little light and powdery on me, not as sweet as some other people are getting. I also like this layered over DFB Amber. My only complaint...

    This is a sweet violet scent. It seems to be a single note fragrance and smells the same to me in the bottle, wet, and after the drydown period. I love the smell of violet candies so this is a...

    I really, really like this. On its own it's a beautiful, fresh violet scent that stays away from smelling like plastic. Layered underneath DFB Amber it's DIVINE. Those two unlikely-to-mix...

    In the summer, when I first tried this, it smelled very metallic and artificial to me. I then tried it before putting it up for swap; and felt the same way. I then started wrapping some DB stuff...

    Pretty, sweet violet scent with a touch of green. Rather similar to Borsari's VdP except for the drydown: maybe this is the fault of the oil form, but I detect a mustiness underneath the sweet...

    A kicky, girly, sweet violet scent, in the same tradition of Borsai Violetta di Parma. Like candied sugar confections, green, freshly cut stems and pure clear violets....so very feminine, innocent...

    Smells synthetic to me when first applied, with a whiff of--hmm...nail polish remover?--especially if you put a big dab in one place. But it dries down to a lovely sweet violet scent--I've never...

    Sweet, candy-like violet. Very much like the little tins of violet candies I pick up in import stores (I'd always wished I could find a perfume that smelled like them...lucky me!). And...

    i am so shocked that i love this- it smells just like Penhalligan's Violetta - only so far the lasting power exceeds. I just layered it on the violetta lotion - and am blown away! the jungle...

    Agreed, it does smell like sweet violet candy - very girlish and pretty - but it also has a metallic note that was sour to my nose - good news is that the nasty metallic note disappeared quickly....

    I just received this recently, and it does really smell just like the neat violet candies I get in a tin that are from France. I buy them every time I go to a natural foods store and I've always...

    This perfume oil smells just like violet candies. It is slightly sweet...not at all a sour-ish or green. Just light purpley sugary violets.

    “I smell Parma Violets!” It was the first thing my man's brother said when he walked into the room, and it was me, wearing DFB Violet. Parma Violets are little Victorian violet sweets and this is...

    VIOLET-This is a scent that I would really never pick for myself. I guess for fear of smelling like an old lady or something. That could not be further from the truth. This is a very "candy" scent...

    Hmm, if there was such a thing as violet candy, this would be it. This is a very sweet, edible take on the violet scent. I will not purchase a full bottle, as it is too candyish for me, but I will...
