What does Violet (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with a bright, fresh Calabrian bergamot. At the heart, violet and white lily form a floral core with a soft, powdery feel. In the base, patchouli and vanilla sweeten the scent and bring out its gourmand side.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it neither leaves a heavy trail nor disappears quickly. The number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. Les Senteurs Gourmandes Vanille Violette and Morph N.8 have a close profile.
