Gorgeous Sweet Violets!
Les Fleurs Violette is a gentle violet fragrance based on musk. Upon first spray, my nose picks (in the order of dominance) fresh violets, musk, and heliotrope. Dominant musk notes always bomb on my skin, and perhaps that's why the first 15 mins upon spraying isn't my favorite part of this perfume.
However, the heart reveals only the powdery violet note and the musk really serves as the agent on which this lovely but airy note can effervesce on my skin. As the hours pass, the dry down becomes sweeter, almost a candy like note of violet. However, it isn't cloying or bothersome. This is truly my favorite phase of the perfume.
I've been able to score a 3.4 oz bottle for a very reasonable price. And as a Violet Lover, I shall be keeping this inexpensive little gem in my collection as my go-to violet perfume.
Projection: Not even a foot. Stays close. But it's a lovely little cloud of violet.
Longevity: Considering that my skin eats up perfume way too much, not bad for a violet one. After 4 hours, I needed to re-spray. But it IS relatively inexpensive, so this is not an issue for me.
Violet Lovers: I don't think you can go wrong with this as a blind buy if all of this sounds good to you.
