Dark Purple Velvet
Violet always sounds much more playful and cute than the French violet, which is also a female first name. Violette, let's take the -e away and immediately have the matching shade "violet", where I have just noticed that in everyday language the clumsy "purple" has often mistakenly crept in.
Pantone has chosen the colour "Ultra Violet 18-3838" as trend colour 2018.
Then there is the romantic meaning and language of flowers. There's a lot of nostalgia in that. Today, flowers are no longer chosen as gifts according to their message.
But where we are at the messages of the flowers:
The violet stands for innocence and restraint, virginity, modesty and loyalty.
Now when I smell on my wrist where I applied Luten's "Bois de Violette", completely different associations and images come to my mind.
It's not an immature, naive girl wearing that scent. It is not tender and not restrained.
The fragrance radiates a feminine maturity, it is deep and dark. As a color it would be a dark velvety violet.
It is a perfume with character, not at all superficial or loud, but it is very present and very confident in its charisma. It is like a good, mature red wine, a long kiss in the evening, a deep black night sky. The seduction happens alone, the scent holds a silent eroticism in itself. The dark that I feel in it, but has nothing dark, rather something mysterious and very feminine.
I find it dark woody-velvet-flowery.
I don't know if Serge Lutens and I can still get together. Bois de Violette" doesn't suit me either, and yet it is always a special experience to get to know one of its scents. I believe that the wearer and this scent know very quickly that they belong to each other.
