I unfortunately tested a violet scent in a shop in South France that was unbearable for me.

Sounds very pleasant... By now, I can handle violet and powder quite well.

Sandalwood powder & violet + violet leaf green
At first, there's a sharp violet note, but it calms down quickly. It shifts between violet leaves, violet flowers, and a hint of iris powder, keeping the scent floral and green-leafed with a touch of bitterness. I didn’t notice any raspberry.
Found this version on Etsy: The top notes are iris, African orange blossom, violet, and violet leaf; the heart notes are jasmine and lily of the valley; the base notes are vetiver, sandalwood, nutmeg, and raspberry.
