I love when I find a scent that hits your memory viscerally and this immediately brought up my grandparents’ farm – clover and hay. They grew only vegetables and kept bees… it was idyllic and I haven’t found anything that smells like until this scent.
I smelled dirt and hay and grass, followed by wildflowers. It didn’t last as long as I always hope they will, but this is so fresh and prairie-meadow. I highly recommend it!

At long last, I’m sampling my namesake fragrance!
The first few seconds are a little strange- I swear I smell mustard greens… but then, the ethereal fresh violet note siddles by…
and leaves all too quickly, unfortunately, within 2-3 hours, leaving behind a soft soapy skin scent-

None of my usual Spring violets were doing it for me this year, so after briefly sampling from vials purchased at the usual decant stores, I kind of impulsively bought a full bottle of Wild Pansy. In the samples, both oil and water based, there was an accord that bothered me a little. But I loved the green, the slightly earthy/spicy element, and the violet was wonderful. The bothersome bit was very low in the mix. Unfortunately, in the full bottle of the oil based scent I bought, that bothersome bit is full-throttle after the top notes fade. It is a wonderful, original scent, very well done, but unfortunately that accord and I do not get along. Like all oils Wild Pansy wears close to the skin, but something (lavender?) gives it a little more lift than usual– I can smell it on my wrists without trying for the 3 to 4 hours it lasts. If you are looking for a fresh green violet, definitely try this. It leans to the traditionally feminine but only because it is floral. I can see a man pulling this off.
Edit: I am sampling Bulgari Thé Bleu, and it remarkably similar to Wild Pansy. i have never experienced two perfumes from two different companies that smell so similar.

I loved it so much when I put it on – wet, green, real flowers in the rain on damp mossy earth.
But then it disappeared …
I’m sad now.

Being a huge fan of Christopher Brosius and his work, this ones simplicity intrigued me.
I fell in love with it right away.
It starts off very green and refreshing, very very grassy. It reminds me a bit of his Greenbriar 1968.
After the initial grassy opening you begin to get that sweet floral from the violets, almost as if youre smelling one freshly picked from a grassy field, it’s sutble but definitely noticable which is why I think it seems so real. It’s not a slap in the face whatsoever. It’s very clean, fresh and soothing in a sense.
I also get a hint of dirt. The violet smell reminds me a tiny bit of a violet house cleaner my grandmother used bringing back memories of my childhood at her house. But it only slightly resembles the cleaner, because this is MUCH fresher and far more realistic smell of violets than any other violet scent I’ve tried. Not at all synthetic smelling.
It stays very true to the description on his website, its the simple smell of wild violets growing in the forrest.
This simplicity makes it very easy to wear, very appealing, and very refreshing. I definitely see myself wearing this very often. Along with this purchase I bought the “old leather” premium accord which I also LOVED, and they actually go beautifully together IMO. Anyone who has both should try it for themselves.
If youre looking for something simple, and refreshing give Wild Pansy a try, You wont be dissapointed.

A strong and wet smell of green grass and flowers. Smells pretty realistic (and pleasant) and lasts for a long time.
It’s a great perfume on its own, but remarkable when layered to add a green note to something darker.

wild pansy is a sweet, gentle perfume that i found quite enjoyable. the opening notes share something in common with Demeter ‘firefly’ in that there is a wet-stone-after-a-storm scent to it…but in the case of wild pansy it is not overpowering but fleeting and soft. nice fragrance….i am intrigued!
