Idyll
In the bathroom of the lady of the castle stood a light blue perfume bottle on the windowsill. Next to an open blue fan. The windows were old, drafty, and rattled a bit. On a sunny spring morning, the light was pastel-colored, transparent. The typical light of Normandy that inspired the painters of Impressionism. Outside, countless birds were squawking in the castle park. Small violets bloomed on the lawn, where sheep were slowly munching away with their contented chewing sounds. In between, the lambs were hopping around, having their little lamb races.

A very idyllic scent, also a bit old-fashioned. The violet is very present. But is eventually replaced by iris. The floral scent becomes greener over time. Eau de Violette de Parme does not seem synthetic to me. RNC is the abbreviation for Recherche Nature Cosmétique, which is an eco-cosmetics and fragrance brand that belongs to Rancé.

Eau de Violette de Parme is more suitable for women, for shepherdesses and ladies of the castle who are currently staying in the countryside. For delicate and/or dreamy women. For women who use natural cosmetics. The scent becomes very close to the skin very quickly and certainly does not last long. Eau de Violette de Parme is perhaps only suitable for spring. I certainly cannot imagine it in winter. Not on men either. I just sprayed it on a family tester M, and it comes off a bit strange. As a sport to go with the scent, flower picking or lentil harvesting would be fitting. The good ones into the pot, and so on.

In Germany, this scent seems to be unavailable. I received a generous sample and will probably make do with it. Unfortunately, the idyllic moments are far too rare.

No Rose Scent
No, this time the Rose Girl did not test a rose scent. This time it is a violet scent, and one of a very special kind. The fragrances from Rancé 1795 are of very high quality and are not available in the lower price range. Accordingly, the expectations for such a scent are also quite high.

Eau de Violette de Parme deserves its name, at least regarding the top and initial heart notes. However, this fragrance is by no means just a little water - an Eau.

The beginning with violets in abundance threatens to overwhelm me, but neroli and bergamot rein it in. This bright, clear, and often slightly piercing violet note calms down a bit, but remains very authentic and prominent, like a large bouquet of fresh violets.

At first, it doesn't matter which flowers are added in the heart note; the scent is violet, violet, violet, even though geranium certainly brings a certain green into the fragrance. However, the lily of the valley also wants to participate quite noticeably, especially with the advanced heart note, and increasingly pushes itself to the forefront.

The vanilla and sandalwood in the base do not manage to give the fragrance any softness; rather, it is the iris that determines this progression and gives the scent a well-perceived powderiness. Unfortunately, the lily of the valley also uncomfortably pushes forward in the base, and that is what bothers me, as it undermines the name.

Regrettably, this powdery lily of the valley note lingers quite a long time for me, and the sillage spreads quite intensely in the room. I already own five fragrances from Rancé, but this one will not be among them.

My tired nose detects chamomile tea in this violet water, breathes in before the floral hay becomes woody and green is just a hint.

Transparent pastel-colored light filters through the bathroom window curtain. Spring is outside. The violets are blooming.

Not a delicate wallflower violet water, but more of an 80s bomb, reminiscent of Jardins de Bagatelle. Then it calms down again.
