Is Viola Odorata your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is citrus (100%), followed by violet and powdery. You will probably like it if you enjoy citrus and violet smells and notes like apple and ambrarome. Less obvious notes include lemon, exotic fruits and rose. Perfume fans rate it 4.01 out of 5.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Houbigant Quelques Fleurs and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Absolue Pour le Matin unisex spread further.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Houbigant Quelques Fleurs and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Absolue Pour le Matin unisex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like ambrarome and freesia are the part that stays longest on the skin.

The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Houbigant Quelques Fleurs but less than Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò.
For work or for evenings
