    frozenviolets-

     

    I believe there once was a violet single note, but don't quote me on that, it might have been lilac.  Anyhoo, I already put my foot in my mouth by saying Kumiho was discontinued when it isn't- so the only thing you can trust me on is my good intentions!

     

    Oh no problem. I was just curious :P. Thanks for replying.

     

    There was one for both violet and lilac.

     

     

    I can't believe I missed them. I love both violet and lilac. If the violet one note would be still being sold, I'm sure I'd go for that one.

    All these scents that include violet seem to smell wonderfully. I think that's why I am so undecided. First I wanted Nocturne, then I thought Queen Gertrude...then Marie and finally Veil. I am almost sure I will end up ordering a set of imps, though I also believe I should go for my first choice: Nocturne. Ok, now I am babbling.

    Hi Melpomene

     

    Nocturne isn't my second favorite oil for no reason!  I can't believe it doesn't get more love on the forum.  The description includes the word "somber", but I don't get that at all.  I get sweet, dreamy, wistful, summer-nights-in-the-woods-wearing-diaphanous-blue-silk, but there's nothing sad about this scent.  I think it's the perfect violet for me (although I haven't tried the Single Note because I find the blends more evocative and splendid) because of the addition of dripping sugary tuberose. 

     

    Anyhoo, if that's not your bag, and it sounds like you've tried a few, I second Veil and Queen Gertrude.  Veil is a gorgeous violet because of the addition of sandalwood and other less sweet flowers, and Gertrude is a lovely softer violet- swaying with the wind like the character.

     

    I love how Elizabeth blends different notes because you can learn to identify them and the other notes that show them off and complement them to perfection.  The addiction will never end.

     

     

    Silly question: is there any violet single note scent? I just saw your post that mentioned single note and I wonder if you were talking about a single note violet scent.
