Sweet Violet has long been a staple of women’s fragrances, and enjoyed enormous popularity during the Victorian era. During the late 19th and early 20th century in Great Britain, there was a huge market for imported Italian Violets for perfuming purposes. Many British developed a small cottage industry to capitalize on the craze. Sweet violet is a delectably scented, deep indigo- and purple-colored species native to much of Europe. Large or unusually colored forms would have been taken from the wild for Tudor gardens. Tempered and saved from excessive sweetness by the woodsy fragrance of sassafras, this incredible scent is mesmerizing. At once romantic and sensual, innocent and erotic, Victorian and Contemporary, it is an amazing blend of the Olde and Niew... and it's phthalate-free, too! Packaged in HDPE containers.
