Sweet Parmesan Violet
by Hilde Soliani
Sweet Parmesan Violet is a softly sweet, powdery violet fragrance with a candied, gourmand flair that evokes delicate pastel tones and childhood nostalgia. It opens with a sparkling burst of sugared violet, creating a luminous, uplifting aura that feels both playful and refined. The heart lingers with a cloud-like sweetness, smooth as powdered sugar, enhanced by subtle vanilla and soft wood, resulting in a warm, intimate presence. The aroma evolves into a softly sweet, dry-down that is quietly persistent—though some note it fades quickly under hot conditions, others praise its lasting presence. It’s universally described as a ‘drama-free’, uncomplicated violet, perfect for spring and summer, and particularly well-suited for those who appreciate eternal sweet floral confections. The name is a clever nod to Parma, Italy, where the violet is rooted, not cheese, despite the whimsical update in the name.

Cons
- −Some experience a sharp, synthetic evolution in the dry down, turning into a cloying gourmand that feels unbalanced.
