This smells exactly like the Matrix Biolage Scalptherapie shampoo/conditioner!

Ok then…no secret herbal ingredients, I guess! Thanks N.

R, he said that he used elemi, rosewood, and violet leaf absolute, and that the combination was what produced the “crisp, herbaceous” note that my nose equated with tarragon.

Interesting, wouldn't have thought of tarragon but now that you bring it up, it is very like. Did he say what herb notes he used?

I bought this in the water spray (on the same day Karenska did) and I love it. And I still insist that the green notes smell like tarragon even though CB has told me directly that that is not among the notes in this scent.

I really like both of them too. The Wild Pansy is LE, so if you need it, you might as well get it soon…

Both Violet Empire and Wild Pansy get the official Violet Femme stamp of Big Ol' Approval.

I need both.

I really like the water sprays — you're right that they take a bit to dry, but I am not a fan of oils & would rather use the water spray as a body mist. Better sillage that way too, I think.

This is one of my current favorites. I love the minty aspect of it. I have the water spray, and it takes a minute or two to dry, but the lasting power is very good. Nice review, R!
