Violette Precieuse

Violette Precieuse by Caron

Although it may appear simple, growing violets is in fact such a delicate process as to have long defied horticulturalists and botanists around the world. In 1913, Ernest Daltroff decided to capture the fragile scent of this elusive flower, the symbol of secret love.

For him, the flower was the image of his muse, Félicie, who under her outwardly strong character was actually a sensitive and delicate soul. The note of fresh, powdery violet, supported by iris, was rounded out with delicate and delicious raspberry.
