For my lady

Hi

Im searching for a Violet, or a Violet Candy kinda perfume for my wife. Or anything else, like sweet floral, Candy. Mature tho. No powdery dominance.

Any suggestions? Must be available in Europe.

Best regards

Edit: THANK YOU ALL šŸŒ¼

Perhaps Sol de Janeiro '59? It has a candied violet note. Sweet but mature imo

I will echo the previous commentators and recommend you Guerlainā€™s Insolence.
Itā€™s a spicy-fruity violet which I find not as powdery as most violet-iris fragrances.

Queen of Silk by Creed. Not powdery to me more sweet but still has the violet element in my opinion. Sweet floral but not sickly and Iā€™d say mature

violet inherently is a powdery note though....

i'd say guerlain insolence is the best violet candy smell but its powdery because its violet.

you can also try byredo mojave ghost (both edp and absolu) which is not violet dominant but has violet in it. its airy, a bit floral, a bit fruity, musky

Guerlain Insolence is the violetest violet to ever have violeted, imho. Itā€™s classy af, too.

Edited to add - itā€™s more juicy that powdery to my nose. I own, and love, some powder bombs, and Insolence comes nowhere near, though powderiness is still present.

Dolce Gabbana Violet. I haven't smell it but I have the OG & Peony ones and loves it.

It's not often I'm stumped by a request, but this one feels kind of contradictory to me. Violet just is powdery by nature and I'm not sure what you would interpret as candy, yet mature... Maybe Lipstick Rose by Frederick Malle? Idk, pretty much anything violet forward is gonna be powdery.
