Goetting & Co. launched Violet in 1900 — and it was a brilliant move. A feminine fragrance rooted in the floral family.
Country of origin — the United States: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Violet evolves as a living composition, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Goetting & Co. comes through from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Floral and Whiteflower. At family level the fragrance belongs to Floral.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a inspiring floral mood: Violet. In this format 1 note works as one voice, forming romantic softness that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The inner phases are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Floral without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Violet sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.
