Violet Perfumes & Colognes: 2,478 Fragrances With Violet

Violet perfumes make up 2,478 fragrances in our catalog, with violet used as a heart note 79% of the time. Violet smells soft, powdery and sweet, with a candy-like, slightly woody facet. Because the flower yields almost no oil, the note is made with synthetic ionones and usually sits in the heart. It is most often paired with iris, lily of the valley and rose, and these perfumes tend to be floral and fresh. Well-known examples include Tres Nuit by Armaf, Acqua di Giò by Giorgio Armani and Red Door by Elizabeth Arden.
