Venetian Violet Flower Water

Venetian Violet Flower Water by Crabtree & Evelyn offers a soft, delicate violet scent that feels modern and fresh. It opens with a bright, slightly sour burst of litchi, mandarin orange, and raspberry, giving way to a powdery, fruity heart of peach and peony that blends seamlessly with the violet. The drydown reveals a subtle musky-woody base, with cedar and orris adding depth without heaviness. This is a scent that leans toward clean, wearable elegance rather than opulent sweetness—more delicate than many other violet perfumes, with no harsh or cheap undertones. While longevity is moderate (around 3-4 hours on skin, up to 6 on clothing), it lingers gently like a memory of a flower. Its subtle sillage makes it ideal for daytime use in spring or summer, and it layers well with other scents. Many find it to be the perfect balance—sufficiently sweet to be charming, but never cloying. A true floral flower water in both consistency and soul.
