Lovely white floral

Compliment opens with a big "Ta-Daa!" of orange blossom and tuberose. Jasmin immediately follows to form a powerful white floral trio. Subtle green notes are to be found when sniffed closely. Because of those accents, there is some similarity with "Carnal Flower | Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle" , but that does not last very long. Where Malle's tuberose is tame, Compliment does not hold back. At least, for the first hour or so. Along the way, the florals lower their volume and a more delicate, warm-hearted base of vanilla-heliotrope notes unfolds. It adds just a bit of powderiness without taking the overhand.

This perfume setup is clever. Big entrance, variations in the orangeblossom-tuberose-jasmin ratios, green accents that turn into warmer powdery accents over time. To be honest, I did not think much of Nathalie Lorson's work before, but this is truly a beautiful white floral composition. Deserves a compliment!

French White floral

Compliment attracts bouquets. Orange flower whispers kind words to freesia, jasmine makes tuberose blush, ylang ylang giggles and hugs you with joy. Compliment will make you smile, this solar floral is the ideal perfume for everyone looking for a beautifully arranged lush white floral. Would definitely wear it for a wedding.

Balanced

What a beautiful battle and contrast!!
It is the first time that in a perfume with tuberose I can notice more notes. The perfect balance and fight between Jasmine and Tuberose is unreal.
Jasmine seems to bloom in the middle of the tuberose note. It is a perfect spring scent with an exotic and warm touch. It reminds me a bit of the floral side of Guerlain's Terracotta. Perfect

Holy Grail Tuberose

In general, I find Violet to be one of the better niche houses of recent years. There are so many new brands popping up here and there, wanting over 200 euros for their perfumes right off the bat. Often, however, only mediocre quality is achieved.

Of course, one should like classic scents. Many are oriented towards the models that the brand itself released over half a century ago…

At 155 euros for 75ml Extrait de Parfum, the Violet fragrances are affordable, and travel sprays are now also offered.

Behind the scent and generally behind most of the fragrances is Nathalie Lorson, a perfumer who is actually known for creating good perfume on a modest budget (Bentley for Men Intense, Lalique Encre Noir). Here she proves that she can create true grand perfumes with a more generous budget and play in the big leagues. In my opinion, she would have also been an excellent choice for the position of chief perfumer at Dior. But it was not meant to be…

Now to the scent. Right off the bat, when applied generously, it is a strong perfume. Above-average sillage, with 14+ hours of longevity, you can smell the perfume all day or even the next morning.

The scent consists of three stages for me, top, heart, and base notes are quite well distinguishable.

The opening is fresh, clean, invigorating. Tuberose is noticeable from the very beginning. Accompanied by citrus notes and clean orange blossom. I would suspect a hint of pear, but it could also be the eucalyptus-violet leaf combo.

In the heart, the perfume transforms into a clean white floral on body lotion/shampoo musk. The latter is often meant in a derogatory way, but here I mean it positively. A very expensive body lotion. Everything feels very well-groomed. While I find the opening definitely wearable as a flower-loving man, the scent becomes distinctly feminine here (if one believes in such things). The heart lasts for several hours.

The base ultimately becomes a bit more sensual. So to speak, just in time when the workday is over. The scent never becomes "dirty," but the narcotic nature of the tuberose is clearly hinted at here. Supported by heliotrope and vanilla. A hint of coconut prevents the whole thing from becoming too powdery.

I will definitely keep an eye on Violet. And I will also get a travel spray to enjoy this scent from time to time.

This is a pure, shameless tuberose and I love her.

A perfume for tuberose lovers, the subtler notes are completey overpowerd by the white flower bomb this is. My first deception from Violet.

Opens with a minty spiciness, and evolves into a floral creaminess. Nothing special

The smell, combination of jazmin with an strong note of something like grass is not nice.

Erases thoughts in white
& gray.
Powdery facets settle
clumsily into the scent.
Tuberose, geraniums & jasmine
sway the dance leg.

Here the jasmine is too indolic for me, so I had to wash off the scent early. Maybe it had more to offer...

White floral scent with tuberose at the center. A gentle + pleasant tuberose. Fresh, light sweetness, nothing too much. Elegant, clean + well-groomed.
