strong

Violets are present but they smell quite strong, not as delicate as in nature, rather synthetic, piercing
If Violetta weren't the name of the perfume, I wouldn't have recognized it at all.
The unsweet geranium overpowers everything and the violets can only be sensed in the background.
I am disappointed!
They should have named the perfume better: "Old Geranium" or something like "lol"

I'm now testing Violetta, and after an initial violet note, it becomes too sweet and there's something in it that reminds me of what you mentioned, kind of a cress smell. Retroactively, I give it a trophy+.

I had this perfume as a sample. At first, phew, it was quite strong-what was that? But then after 30 minutes, it became very soft and delicate on the skin, with a clear violet note. You can't just test it quickly; I think it's lovely.
