April Violets Contemporary Edition
by Yardley
April Violets Contemporary Edition by Yardley presents a delicate, powdery green floral scent with a modern, minimalist character. The fragrance opens with crisp citruses and a verdant note of violet leaf, leading into a quiet, slightly earthy bouquet of iris and white peach. The dry-down features a soft, crystalline powdery texture, layered with sandalwood and a hint of vanilla, resulting in a refined, understated elegance. While the violet note is not a dominant floral presence—more a suggestion of violet leaf woven into a woody-green fabric—the overall impression is clean, youthful, and quietly romantic. Longevity is brief, with performance primarily on fabric rather than skin, and sillage remains intimate. It shares the ethereal freshness of a spring garden, evoking a soft talc-like aura reminiscent of Prada Infusion d'Iris.
