knjsavy Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I would call this Dolly Dark side younger cousin, you get the violet but it is made softer and sultry by the musk. A definite must for violet lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j5382001 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I agree with you Knjsavy I got a sample of this one and the violets definitely come right out .... It's a lovely and sweet violet scent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightlife Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Not the best violet I've ever known (and I love violet almost like a spouse) but this is a simple, charming scent. Very light throw with a gentle interplay between the sugary violets and the musk. It's a sweetheart for the spring, and I may get a bottle to see how it may improve over time.

Rosebud Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I love this one! It's like a lighter more innocent version of Dolly's Dark Side! It doesn't have the staying power of DDS though, only lasts for 2-3 hours on me... If I get a bottle I'd have to get some D5 too me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna65 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I think I'm getting more sugar than violet...I was going to say it reminds me of Possets' Silver Violets but I really get more sweetness than floral. That's nice, though, in that it seems to be ensuring the violet does not go powdery on me (the problem I normally have with that note). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajia Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 This is very pretty. Wet:A sweet musk with just a hint of violet. Drydown:The musk moves back and the candied violet becomes more prominent. 2 hours later, it becomes......it becomes..........hmmm.....*sniffs self again*. Huh, cant really describe what it smells like......I get floral, a tad bit of sweetness, and very light musk. To me, its a very young lady type of scent ..........innocent is the word that comes to mind. Very pretty.......

Ivy715 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Piias candied violet & musk my 1st review. initial smell-delicate flowers(violets)and a scent I did't reconize'how to desribe it inticing. wrist test- Really strong floral and sweet at the same time.As if a floral scent dancing around my head,but in a nice way. As it dries the scent it seems to get lighter,it dried real fast on me. About 20 minutes afterI asked my hubby his thoughts on my purfume and he sniffed my wrist and replyed it smelled earthy and sweet. A little story We fought bad because I was in the middle of placing a new order and he wanted to print something out I told him my printer wasn't working so he wasted 1 hour of our time hehehe. Anywho about an hour after wearing this I would git just a suttle hint.(just as I wrote thate line) The fragance was gone by 3 to 4 hours on my first test. I hope I did this right for you all are wonderful Tee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseburger79 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Lord---this scent makes me feel like a moron. And NOT because its smells bad- on the contrary-It smells GREAT!!!!! The deal is- On the drydown of this, to me, it smells exactly like Borsari Parma Violet(I have been paying over a hundred bucks a bottle for that dang stuff for years). This is sweet candy violet with a green earthy undertone-just like Bosari's-dammint. I really wish I would have smelled this earlier and stocked up. Its LOVELY! Grrrrr........

JOC Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Very pretty scent and I love it very much. It's probably the white musk and white sugar which remind me of my current favourite, MWO. However, this turned powdery after a couple of hours. Â I will definitely use this at work or at bedtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I don't get the younger sister of DDS feeling. It just gives a very sweet and innocent feeling to it. I'm happy to have 4 bottles of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfumesniffer Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I got the violet and the musk, but overall it was like air freshener on me. I prefer the deeper, darker violets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I got this as a sample and just from the description I didn't think I'd like it, as I don't like musk and didn't think I liked violets, but I am really pleasantly surprised. I get very sweet notes from this, like candy, and I can smell the violet strongly but for some reason I really like it. Maybe I am a violet fan after all? Or perhaps it is the fact that it is "sugared"? Anyway I love this in the bottle and on application. On drydown it becomes less sweet and more floral and I like it a bit less, but only a little bit less - still enjoying it. Because I like this one so much in the bottle I think I will tip my sample onto a cotton pad and add it to my pot pourri collection (an organza bag filled with pieces of cotton pad soaked in various perfume oils). Â Always happy to discover new scents to love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I just need to comment on how wonderfully this one lasts and lasts. I put some on this morning and I can still smell it on my wrist, more than 12 hours later. This is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I tried this last night scared of the violets that might electrocute me, but I decided what the hell. A little risk never killed anyone. I was happy that the violet didn't come out and strangle me right away. What I felt was a cozy type of laundry smell. It reminded me of Tide with Lavender or something flowery or pretty. Some people might get turned off by that, but it wasn't bad. It was very comforting and cozy. I probably would not go full bottle extravaganza, but you never know, I might retest and see how this does. It also made me very sleepy. Like really cozy and comfy so this might be a good sleep scent for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I just got this one and its love at first sight... The violet does come out strong for the first hour or two, but then it settles down into this most amazing sexy scent I can wear all day... I would agree with what Lady V stated in that it is a cozy fragrance but it also has the air of elegance surrounding it...It's mine and I LOVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
