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!

This is one I don't have, I love the looks of bottles not so much using them however. Thanks for your review.
