Violet
Violet flowers have a soft woody floral fragrance with a slight powdery aroma. Contrastingly, the leaves of the violet lend a freshly cut grass freshness to fragrances. During the 19th century, violet based fragrances were immensely popular. In 1893, Kruger and Tiemann discovered ionones found in the violet flower. Ionones enable the production of a synthetic violet scent identical to the expensive and precious natural oil.
Euphoria by Calvin Klein is a sensual, yet sophisticated scent and many women name this fragrance as their signature fragrance. Euphoria’s violet note gives the blend a woody floral sweetness, beautifully complimented by a creamy vanilla base that will take you to new heights.
