Oriza L. Legrand Violettes du Czar ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 6 November 2014 9 Comments

Oriza L. Legrand Violettes du Czar

Niche line Oriza L. Legrand will launch Violettes du Czar, a new unisex fragrance.

Of all French perfume makers, only the House of Oriza L. Legrand was chosen as “Purveyor to the Russian Court”. In recognition of this honour, it developed a line of fine and delicate fragrances, of which the “Violettes du Czar” stood out for its unmatched quality, making it a favourite of the well-to-do and the Courts of Europe.

The violet of Nice, infinitely finer, more delicate, and more distinguished than others, married to the virile accents of pedigree Russian leather, balsam and amber, is less restrained than the words that describe it.

“Violettes du Czar” is an audacious perfume that will appeal to elegant men and women alike.

The notes feature violet leaves, violet, iris, heliotrope, tolu balm, leather, amber and gaïac wood.

Oriza L Legrand Violettes du Czar is available now for pre-order, €120 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    This sounds like a must try. I adore Jardins d’Armide and everything else I have tried from them (except their muguet) has been really nice on my skin

      I’d like to try this one too. Wish they did smaller sizes!

        I really wish most perfumers did a 50 ml size. Seems like a lot are making just the 3.4 oz:p. I have liked one or two from this line. Leather and gaiac huh? Mmmm. Notes seem like a great combo.

    This company is fantastic and they do a great sample service. All the ones I’ve tried have been of the best quailty. My favourite is Reve d’Ossian… a floral spicy vibrant perfume that is stunning. Chypre Mousse is a classic chypre but a little too sharp on my skin. Can’t wait to try this one….sounds gorgeous!

    Since when is Nice famous for its violet? Toulouse is, not Nice. Weird.

    I haven’t smelled this, but anything with the word Czar (in all its various spellings) in it makes me bristle, so I think I’ll pass.

      Sorry, turns out that the violet of Nice is more distinguished ;-)

    Oooh – this sounds interesting. Ever since sniffing the lovely violette diptyque candle I’ve been contemplating searching for a wonderful violet scent. Perhaps I’ll have to give this one a try!

    Sound like an interesting blend. I’ve liked a couple from this house but won’t buy one as they don’t do smaller sizes. I know their Chypre Mousse gets a lot of love but that didn’t work for me at all.
