Eau De Parfum

I’m pretty excited about this Parfum. I found the label and couldn’t resist. It originally was a perfumed soap. So I began digging to see if I could find the recipe to see how they scented it. I wasn’t successful in finding the exact scent recipe. I did find many which were close to the original- so I came up with our own mixture and turned it into an Eau de Parfum using the historical perfume recipes as a base. I think you will enjoy this very much.

We had debuted it at an art show in Historical Cedarburg WI. It flew off the shelves. We had the samples and people just bypassed them for the whole bottle. That being said the scent will be a little different on everyone, but it’s a lovely powdery violet-type scent with other flowery notes and some have told me a top note of licorice. In my opinion, it’s more powdery on me. Some have said it turns into a unique citrus smell. It will be a little different for everyone!

Eau De Parfum: A perfumed liquid containing a percentage of fragrant oils that is lower than that in perfume but greater than that in eau de toilette. What this means is that the scent is not as strong as a perfume but stronger than Toilette Water.

By the 1920s perfumes and toilette waters had more variety because of perfume fragrances. They were all the rage- especially for plants that don’t produce essential oil, like Violet. Women were able to enjoy these rare fragrances all year round and they lasted longer and were generally less expensive than the old-school real flower oils.

Not sure and want to try the sample first:
Here are some helpful questions and answers: Granted, each person will have a unique scent when it mixes with your own body chemistry.

Q: What is the difference in scent between the Violet Water and the Violette Coquette?

A: To me, Violet water smells like when I would pick a violet flower as a kid and smell it close to my nose. It’s very singular and not complex in scent. On the other hand, Violette Coquette smells a bit powdery and a bit like deep earth, with violet patches and other ground growth with a few flowers around it and maybe a stream nearby. When you first spray or smell it out of the container, it won’t smell like it does on your skin, so keep that in mind. To take advantage of the true smell, you need to let it sit on your skin for a little bit and dry down. It’s a nice complex earthy spring new violet smell that will last longer than the plain violet water. Of course, you could spray them together and combine them if you want.

You may be asking yourself: Why is she using fragrance oils.. I thought she was organic and all-natural.
