Catherine Malandrino Violet Gem Perfume 3.4 oz

It smells amazing. I just wish it stayed on a bit longer

This sent is out of this world is so beautiful and feminine

Absolutely lovely! I love the scent!

I love this scent. It's fresh, clean, youthful and sweet. At first the passion fruit notes come on strong... then the dry down gives me strong water lily notes. I've received a ton of compliments wearing this. Its the perfect fruity, yet floral and aquatic fragrance. Aligns really well with my body's chemistry. Wish it lasted longer.

A carpet of violets on a forest floor in spring! If you love fresh florals this is for you

it's so me. I love it.

Smells good , just doesn’t last long … had to constantly spray throughout the day

This smells exactly like I pictured it. Purplely and slightly floral. Lasted a very long time.

At first spray, I was afraid this perfume would be too stinky, but once it settled it has a freshness to it that I really love. Its sweet, and more suited for spring/summer but really addicting no matter the time of day or year.

OK... Here is another Green Apple, Pear, Cucumber type of scent that just impressed me as soon as I put it on. For me...this is one of those fragrances that left me continually sniffing my wrists, even when I went to bed. This is what a clean, freshly bathed person smells like! The notes listed are: "Sunkissed Passionfruit", "Cucumber Dew", 'Sheer Melon", "Watery Lotus" and "Pink Lychee". WOW!! Some have described this as being reminiscent of BBW's "Cucumber Lime" spray, but I don't remember BBW's scent smelling this good. It is also VERY similar to DKNY's "Be Delicious" but I think this smells better. Something about "Be Delicious" feels more candy-like. Maybe it's the Amber?..(which is missing in this and maybe that is why I like this better?) "Violet Gem" smells more fresh and fruity and the color "Lavender" comes to mind even though there is no "Violet" or "Lavendar" listed. The "Water Lotus" gives this that fresh "out-of-the-shower" feel and the hint of "Sandalwood" rounds this out in the dry down, to a nice creamy/musk scent that lingers. I really, really like this!! and it blends well with my chemistry. If you are a fan of Commodity-"Rain"... then you will probably like this too. Clean and Fresh! Ahhhh.

Nice and sweet. Pleasantly surprised.

This is a nice fragrance, just not for me. I did not want to wear it out anywhere so I wore it as a bedtime fragrance. The next morning when I got up to shower I could still smell it on my skin. Very nice scent.

I love the smell of this perfume I have received many compliments and you can almost smell each and every scent inside the fragrance especially the cucumber

This is what I was looking for a long time. It's clean and sweet but can be worn all day or to the office. Will be buying the full size!

This one has a very pretty floral scent it’s really grown on me! light but not to light. Perfect for a date night

This was a surprisingly fresh and fruity! I really liked it. It’s a sweet fragrance (which I prefer) without that nasty spicy and sour bottom note that so many sweet perfumes like to throw in there.

It was ok. Not too overpowering but sweet. Not something I'd buy though.

Catherine Malandrino scents are always sophisticated and unique. You can never go wrong with any of her perfumes.

It's pretty smelling but not exciting. Nothing special.

This scent smells so good!! It’s sweet and fruity but not to overpowering. it’s very elegant and classy i would wear this for special occasions

what’s the difference between a gaudy sequin gown from chapelle’s in the 80’s and a finely brocade piano scarf from antiquity? both are expensive, need a certain technique, fulfill a certain need. but the latter is always impressive, but quietly so. this is how i think of this perfume. understated but refined, present (citrus gives way to a light violet/orchid supported by…rose maybe?). not sure how long it persists yet, but intent on finding out. the citrus open is certainly a novel welcome, and i like it.

I love how sweet the violet gem is. My only wish would be that it lasted longer. But I guess it can't be light and subtle if it was strong enough to last all day.

This fragrant is fresh and fruity. It’s sweet with a hint of elegance. This is great for a day time date or brunch with the girls. Love it!!!!

Absolutely love this fragrance, it’s subtle enough to wear everyday with only a few squirts needed to last up to 8hours

If the color purple had it smell to it, it would be this! It’s a sweet smell, but not something that would be over powering, like candy. Instead, it has hints of grape candy.

This something I would have never tried on own. I will definitely be buying a full size bottle.

It smells like candied violets, light and sweet. Long wear and modern smelling, no granny powder scent.

Sweet but not too sweet. Fruity and a little warm

I love the way this smells. It’s so light and clean. I’m obsessed.

smells soooo fresh and clean. a perfect after shower splash.

This was a beautiful and fresh fragrance little floral, little aqua, not too sweet! I really enjoyed this one

Very pretty light scent. I definitely smelled the melon at first. The notes blended nicely to make a unique scent. Nice for a day off, comfy outfit, running errands, etc..
