BONBONS A LA VIOLETTE

Bonbons a la Violette is New Notes' unisex Extrait de Parfum from the Contemporary Blend Collection, played on a purely indulgent register: a fragrance for anyone who loves niche perfumery when it openly plays with the memory of childhood sweets, without losing an ounce of elegance.

The Fragrance

The name already says a lot: Bonbons a la Violette is born from the memory of violet-flavoured candies, the ones kept in tin boxes at the oldest confectioners, and turns it into a pop, joyful, almost retro floral-gourmand accord. New Notes builds the fragrance as a carefree little indulgence, a sugary treat to enjoy without guilt.

How It Evolves on Skin

Bonbons a la Violette opens with a bright, juicy citrus flash of bergamot and orange, setting the stage for the heart of the fragrance: candied violet, sugared like a real sweet, intertwines with jasmine in an enveloping floral-gourmand accord that's recognisable from the very first moments. As time passes the fragrance warms and rounds out: vanilla enters alongside delicate mossy notes, while cedarwood and amber build a warm, velvety base that lingers on the skin, never losing the playful sweetness that makes Bonbons a la Violette instantly recognisable.

Who We Recommend Bonbons a la Violette To

We recommend Bonbons a la Violette to anyone who loves gourmand fragrances but is looking for something different from the classic vanilla-caramel: candied violet brings a floral-sweet character that's different from the norm, perfect for those who want a scent that feels like a childhood memory without feeling childish. It's a versatile unisex fragrance, suited to every season, equally at home in daily wear or for an occasion where you want to leave a precise olfactory memory.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Bonbons a la Violette is, in our opinion, one of those fragrances that never leave anyone indifferent, and you can tell from the very first try: it wins people over immediately with that direct nod to childhood. That's exactly why we like it: it has the courage to be unapologetically sweet, with no half measures, and it holds up well over time on skin, which isn't always the case with lighter gourmands.

Similar Fragrances

• Sugar Kisses by Lorenzo Pazzaglia — the same pop, sugary register, here built on fior di latte, orange and caramel instead of violet.
• Space Cake by Superz. Budapest — for those who love the bolder side of gourmand-candy: the sweetness turns more experimental here, between gummy bears and caramelised sugar.

It's a versatile fragrance that works year-round: bright enough in the opening for warmer months, but with a warm base that makes it pleasant in colder ones too.

Despite the name evoking a more feminine imagery, New Notes presents it as fully unisex: the floral-gourmand register is meant to be worn by anyone who loves this kind of fragrance.
