Realistic Violet
Fresh, simple, real smelling violet. A bit of natural (non-candy) sweetness, a little spicy (anise?) at the start. Not watery, green, rose or powder, just a very realistic violet. Sillage moderate to soft, longevity is moderate.

Annick Goutal La Violette was launched in 2001, created by Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal. Annick Goutal La Violette is centered on violets and has notes of violet, vioet leaf and Turkish rose. A gorgeous fragrance made from the flower, stem and leaf of the violet plant and just a touch of rose. Annick Goutal La Violette is an eau de toilette, edt. and is part of the soliflore series. From the brand - "La Violette is a fragrance of Soliflores collection devoted to violet. La Violette is a concentration of emotions and memories, the smell of small bouquets that we buy in the spring time, and the smell of candied flowers on a cake."
Fragrantica - "Photorealistic violet. I have found my fresh, candied violets of first spring scent. Carpets of scented 'viola odorata' violets grow wild in my lawn and I harvest them every year to make candied violets and liqueur. This soliflore comes the closest to that grapey, fresh candied violet sweetness I smell in the big bowl I bring into the house, usually on a cold day in February. I found her!"
Fragrantica - "A really lovely round violet scent. Not sticky sweet but very floral. I don’t see this mentioned often but there is something almost clove-esque about it too. A faint spiciness that feels really harmonious and keeps it from being too mature and powdery, or too juvenile and sweet. I do love this one for after-bath or a tea party kind of energy. After a couple hours it sets into this beautiful soapy violent, soft and feminine."
Fragrantica - "Pure violet sweets!"
