Princesse Royale — violet, pulled from a museum into the present

Princesse Royale opens juicy yet delicate: pear, mandarin, bergamot and peach create a bright, watery start that feels closer to modern fruity fragrances than to anything classic.

The heart is what makes this fragrance recognisable. The violet leaf is powdery, slightly metallic and cool – exactly as violet really smells, not as it’s remembered from old perfumes. Lavender adds a herbaceous sharpness that pulls the whole composition in a modern, hard-to-classify direction.

The base rounds everything into velvet. Creamy sandalwood, musk and a touch of vanilla melt into the skin, while patchouli adds an earthy depth that keeps the fragrance grounded. Princesse Royale is made from top-quality perfume essences in extrait concentration and lasts 8 to 14 hours.

Frequently asked questions

What does Princesse Royale smell like?

Powdery violet over a creamy woody base. The opening is juicy and bright (pear, mandarin, bergamot, peach), the heart brings violet leaf with lavender, and the base is velvety: sandalwood, musk, vanilla and patchouli.

How long and how strong does it last?

8 to 14 hours. The fruity opening fades quickly, violet and lavender linger for a few hours, while the creamy woody-musk base remains perceptible all day.

Doesn’t violet smell old-fashioned?

Often, in older perfumes. Here, the violet leaf is treated in a modern way: cooler, greener and slightly metallic, paired with lavender that pulls it away from powdery classics. The result feels closer to modern woody-musky fragrances than to anything from a bygone era.

How does Princesse Royale differ from Reine de Nuit?

Both draw on feminine elegance, but they smell like opposites. Princesse Royale is cooler, powdery-violet and woody, suited to everyday wear and the office. Reine de Nuit is warmer, with white flowers and tonka bean, suited to evenings and festive occasions.

Which occasion suits Princesse Royale best?

Everyday wear and business settings. Its moderate sweetness and soft woody base make it unobtrusive indoors, while still distinctive enough not to be confused with anything else.

Which size should I choose?

Start with the 5 ml tester to try the scent; the larger bottles are better suited to regular use.
