Rosa Veilchen Nuklearbombe
Expectation
A wonderfully woody violet, slightly powdery, a bit playful with fruit, but by no means sweet. Noble and a complex scent for going out.
What really happened
A violet pastille with fruit syrup spreads across my arm (just one spray!) and takes on nuclear proportions. It is sweet and pulsating. The scent radiates so intensely that all the other scent strips in my hand and test sprays on the other arm are overwhelmed.
The fragrance strangely does not feel mature to me; it smells a bit like children's makeup for little girls. At the same time, it is not youthful and playful, but somehow old-fashioned. This combination leaves me somewhat perplexed, as I cannot imagine who Misia might smell good on.
In the end, I washed off Misia because it just annoyed me. The scent development was quite linear and penetrating - the sweet, pink children's violet in a Chanel costume simply would not budge.
Maybe I would have liked the EdT better, but the EdP is definitely not for me.

Your words remind me of everything that comes to mind about the Insolence "sisters." When I first consciously experienced the Misia EdT - a blind purchase of a 200ml bottle - I was initially surprised because I somehow remembered it having a lily of the valley note.
But it's mainly the violet, and lily of the valley isn't present at all.
Misia and Lipstick Rose - the only authentic violet scents I know. After an initial disappointment, I gradually fell in love with this perfume. This powdery, dusty, beautiful violet-rose blend makes me feel melancholic, but in a lovely way. I do use it very sparingly.
Thank you so much and a trophy for your well-written review.
I would have preferred a classy country scent...
I picture a woman who is spending a few days with close friends on a country trip. Let's see... oh... this time they've stayed at the Tannerhof in Bayrischzell... There are no fancy gowns or jewelry in their luggage, just sporty outfits, no frills. The only thing that made it is the Baignoire by Cartier.
In the end, skin chemistry plays a big role, and on you, it sounds more like how I hoped it would be.
