Vanille Violette
Laurence Dumont / Les Senteurs Gourmandes

Gorgeous powdery violet, very parma violet with other light florals. Moves into baby powder territory but not obnoxiously so. Dry down is mainly light rose, parma violet, and vanilla.

While testing I received a comment of 'whatever you wearing, it makes me happy'

Silage is quite decent and can be overwhelming if sprayed or applied with a heavy hand.

A delightful, powdery perfume. Very feminine. Violet, dainty floral notes, lightly sugary, a touch of rose. The vanilla isn't over-bearing. It is powdery from start to finish. It has a heliotrope undercurrent even though there isn't any.

Updated: The above review is for Vanille violette Les Senteurs Gourmands for Women and Men -- there IS a difference. The version I own has only notes of violet, parma violet, powdery notes, sugar, mountain air, floral notes, and rose.

Both are eau de parfum. The notes listed by basenotes are from the strictly, Laurence Dumont, formula. Since I may be the only one who gives a hoot, I just needed to clarify. If you can get your hands on either sample, give it a try. THE most feminine perfume I have encountered thus far...
