Earthy Violets Sprinkled With Powder
I am normally not a real 'Splash-Scent' kind of gal. Nor can I claim that I am a big violet lover, but "Autumn Splash Violet" is a delightful scent that is nice for all those times that you crave a calmer scent that makes you feel pretty and pampered.

On me it's a violet bouquet with vanilla scented orchid and a musk dry down. I don't get any of the peony or bergamot note, no, on me it's very powdery. Its like pressing your nose into a freshly picked violet bouquet and catching a whiff of wood and earth. I love this one also for bedtime, it's calming and whispers from my skin stories of lush green forests with deep purple violet patches.

True; it's not the *best* violet scent on the market and there are cheaper ones, but this one has its charms and should be tested by people who love earthy violets and would like a splash that is inoffensively pretty and tender.

Silage is: violets and musk with a hint of orchids - Longevity is: 5+ hours. Good luck!

The Color Purple ...
... truly expresses the noble, slightly melancholic character of this fragrance one hundred percent. (You can detect a hint of violet in the top notes, but in my opinion, it does not define the core character.) It belongs to the only winter collection that has ever been released as part of the otherwise lighter Marc Jacobs Splashes.

Characteristic is, on one hand, this enchanting floral quality. Heliotrope then transitions into a semi-oriental base note full of musk. This bittersweet type of fragrance somewhat reminds me of "Trésor" by Lancôme and perhaps even has distant echoes of "Après l'Ondée" by Guerlain. It is voluminous and powdery, yet not as extremely heavy and oriental-stuffy as "Amber" from the same collection; rather, it has a blend of Clean Chic and animalistic eroticism that recalls typical Joop fragrances.

I can only highly recommend it, provided you can still snag a bottle - especially given the moderate price! Although it is generally considered more feminine, I believe it can also be worn well by men - as long as it suits your personal style and is applied discreetly.
