    The violet-and-almond opening hits like a memory of Parma Violet sweets, except now you're an adult who knows what she wants. Powdery without being retiring. Sweet without losing the thread.My Queen Deluxe Edition
    The parfum concentration is richer than the EDT, yet the iris and caramel blend feels surprisingly light. Perfect for those seeking classic elegance without the weight.Shalimar Parfum Initial
