Violetta di Bosco is a strikingly natural violet fragrance that unfolds with a bright, green anise opening, evoking bruised violet stems and crushed leaves in a meadow. Over time, it transitions into a delicate, powdery violet heart supported by iris, heliotrope, and a dry, oiled wood base that adds depth and refinement. Instead of being sweet or cloying, it leans into a crisp, herbal-chalky character, with a subtle medicinal edge that gives it character. The perfume has moderate longevity and sillage, making it noticeable but not overwhelming, and bears a resemblance to L’Heure Bleue in both its nostalgic warmth and its blending of violet, iris, and powdery depth. While some find the anise and iris initially harsh or unpleasant, many describe a transformation that reveals a deeply personal, romantic, and evocative scent—something intimate and elegant, like a hidden field of wild violets.
