It's a let down
It is a beautiful scent but so underwhelming. I've been loving this colour this year so had extremely high hopes for the scent as I imagined it... Finally I tested it today, and it's nice, but just underwhelming. It's elegant and feminine yes, sweet fresh violet, it 'kinda' smells like what I imagined, it's classy and delicate, but does not project and even for a discreet fragrance, it's not memorable. For me, redundant. Better fragrances out there for the same effect...
The bottle though, banger ;)

Synthetic purple mess
Ok, needed to write a longer review for those ones who are interested in my longer musings. This differs a lot from my reviews since here I'm focusing on what is not here and what is missing here. Yeah I know, sounds strange.

This scent opens up with a cheap shampoo like smell and not in a positive way. It's not attractive, clean nor soapy and it's very synthetic. It's absolutely impossible to pick up the different flowers - the only thing I can say that the blend is purple but honestly I can't say how much the color of the bottle affects what I think. The blend has no realistic fruity, sweet nor powdery nuances and I have difficulties to wear it even only to write a review of it. Every time when I'm sniffing my arm, I feel unpleasant. Contrary to my usual way of testing, not once did I want to spray this so much that the scent wafted around me. So all my 3 wearings was only two sprays on my other arm only.

I love all the notes which Palatine has, even if I have sometimes difficulties with Lavender. That's why it's surprising that I don't detect any of them separately. Someone could say that it's well blended, and maybe it is but the synthetic aroma ruins it totally. I have many scents with a beautiful fruity Pear note in it and unfortunately it's not here. As much as I love different kind of flowers - they are not here. I'm even TOTALLY in love with Violet atm and because of that I was waiting to get my nose into this scent but no, no, no and no. And one of the most sensual base could be created by the notes which are in Palatine, so it's hard to understand how this result is possible.

I try to find always positive things, and I don't downvote anything for example in based on a house (just want to mention since some people are doing that). I'm so sorry I couldn't find anything positive now. I have a sample of Elysium pour Femme Eau de Parfum as well and I highly recommend to try that one too if you are interested in Palatine and/or like the scent. It has a lot of same in the style which Palatine maybe tries to offer but the quality is totally different. Even that scent is not for me though.

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review.

Too classic for such a price
At first, you can smell the citrus fruits, then they fade in favor of vanilla, jasmine and violet. It's very soft, very delicate and feminine, honestly the smell is very good !

But... it's so déjà vu... and the price is so high for such an unoriginal perfume... I'm quite disappointed.

Personally, I pass.

Fresh violet scent
Palatine is lovely fresh but linear violet scent with a bit of fruitiness.

The sillage and longevity are moderate and definitely much weaker than in Delina or Valaya.

I understand why a lot of people are disappointed with this fragrance since it feels a bit generic and you can probably find similar fragrance cheaper. But as Parfums de Marly is my favourite house, I own most perfumes from their women’s collection. What I like about this house is that from their collection you can find a perfume for every occasion and season. Palatine is very versatile and easy reach, and as it isn’t beast mode, suits many occasions. I think it holds its place in my collection and the purple bottle is very pretty.

Would've been fine if it was 50% off
I think the negativity comes from how not special this fragrance is for the price and the PDM image. It smells perfumey as in powdery florals, hints of citruses, and overall clean and easy to reach for. It’s a nice fragrance and the performance isn’t bad for me— about 5 hours on skin and all day on clothes. I enjoy it but wouldn’t pay full price since there are so many other soapy, basic (not necessarily negative) options you can replace this with.

Floral-sweet-fresh open w/ powdery touches; floral-sweet-fruity dry-down. Synthetic musk & raunchy patchouli in the base (body odor vibe).

Initial spray is parma violets. Soft and sweet. As it settles it becomes more generically floral with hints of baby powder. Clean & fresh.

The scent is totally passable, but very weak and not super unique so very much not worth the price

A touch of amoxicillin antibiotics, a bit of white bar soap, smooth powder, and slightly-sweet white musk. Clean, minus the medicine.

Didn’t enjoy this. Pear note was brief unfortunately… then it turned to a slightly funky floral blend. Maybe I don’t like lavender or violet.
