What do reviewers say about Violetta and Dolce Vita?
Violetta doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. No surprise drydown, no twist at the end. Just violet, powdery and present, with the woody warmth to ground it.Violetta
In 1994, Dior's Pierre Bourdon built this for someone who wants warmth without sacrificing elegance. The fruit-spice combo is distinctive, not safe. Sweet enough to make you smell good.Dolce Vita
