The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2001 by Goutal and crafted by Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen, La Violette is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake flower. The composition opens with an ozonic freshness, followed by aquatic notes that create a sense of lightness and clarity. This interplay between water and air sets the stage for the heart's rich violets and rose, which are softened by powdery undertones. La Violette is a delicate balance of modernity and tradition, reflecting Camille Goutal’s continuation of her mother Annick’s legacy.
Apply La Violette to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The ozonic top notes are fleeting, so allow it time to settle into its floral heart before stepping out. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than in wide sillage.
