Geo. F. Trumper Ajaccio Violets Cologne

Ajaccio Violets by Geo. F. Trumper is the brother I never had - always close, smooth, predictable, with a big personality and most importantly, nice to be around.

There is nothing quite like Trumper's violets.

One of my favorite colognes because the scent is so pure and rich and complex - the true essence of ajaccio violets.

Note that the scent is not particularly long lasting and a liberal application is recommended.

The crown seal is excellent quality, although I would certainly recommend decanting into an atomiser for easy application.

A worthy, classy and unique addition to any cologne library, masculine despite being floral, and all round lovely. A special treat for the senses.

My grandmother used to wear violets and I have always associated the scent with elderly women - until now. Women's violet fragrances tend to be sweet, almost like candy. Ajaccio Violets is definitely a floral violet scent, but it is neither sweet nor feminine. There is an undercurrent of green plants that serves to create a picture of strength and masculinity. It is, however, quite strong and noticeable and it is therefore not one for the 'shrinking violet' pardon the pun. If you want others to notice you when you arrive and remember you after you have left, this is one to consider.
