CARON Violette Précieuse — Eau de Parfum

A precious heirloom in scent form, Violette Précieuse is one of the House of Caron’s most romantic creations, born from Ernest Daltroff’s quest to bottle the elusive, fleeting beauty of the violet. First introduced in 1913, this exquisite fragrance has long been treasured by collectors and connoisseurs of vintage French perfumery for its rare, powdery elegance and timeless femininity.

The composition opens with a delicate veil of violet and violet leaf, brightened by orange blossom and the soft, suede-like warmth of iris. At its heart, lily of the valley and jasmine bloom together in a tender floral chorus, while a base of vetiver, sandalwood, nutmeg and raspberry lends a quiet sensuality, grounding the violet’s innocence with depth and a subtle sweetness. The result is a fragrance that feels both delicate and enduring, the very embodiment of “precious violet.”

Presented in Caron’s signature crystal-faceted bottle with its iconic dome stopper, this 50ml Eau de Parfum is a nice piece to add to your daily fragarance line. evoking the golden age of French perfumery. Owning a bottle of Violette Précieuse is owning a piece of olfactory history.
