I wanted to love this product so badly. The tin is adorable and I love the fragrance and flavor of violets and violet candies. Unfortunately, this is not what I wanted it to be. The tin is very cute in person, Art Nouveau and adorable. However, I found it very difficult to open because it lacks a pronounced “slip”. The lip balm is more of a gloss and has the texture of Vaseline. This didn’t bother me. This makes it long lasting and perfect for “marinating” lips before applying a bold shade of lipstick. It feels nice on the lips. The violet fragrance really isn’t there. It doesn’t smell like fresh violets or like candied violets. I really don’t know what it is supposed to smell like, sweet? I don’t know what it is, but I dislike it. After sniffing other tins, I found that I like them better (such as red currant and vanilla) but the tin is still annoying.

Cute packaging. I think I’d buy it just for that!
I’m guilty of buying things just for the packaging!
Hi there’s the violet parfumeria gal on eBay for £11.99 delivered and that’s the cheapest in the U.K.!!
Wow!
Cute container!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after going through a few of the posts I realized it’s new to me.
Anyways, I’m certainly happy I discovered it and I’ll
be book-marking it and checking back often!
