Tanagra - extrait de parfum

The original vintage Tanagra from 1920 was an ode to women, but like all contemporary Violet perfumes, Tanagra also has a modern twist and is absolutely unisex. Tanagra is a fresh and woody scent that strikes a perfect balance. While the presence of pear and mandarin notes might suggest fruitiness, the fragrance remains crisp and ‘clear’ due to the light and airy freesia combined with the subtle warmth of iris.

Apart from being a delight to wear, Tanagra is also a fragrance with a cause. It supports women, with 20% of its profit going to the “Solidarity Femmes Association,” making it a socially responsible choice for perfume lovers.

The story of Maison Violet begins at the prestigious perfume school Ecole Supérieure du Parfum in Paris. Having just finished their perfumery training, three friends dreamed of becoming entrepeneurs and to start their own brand. It was during the course of research, by luck, that Anthony Toulemonde, Paul Richardot, and Victorien Sirot came across Maison Violet: a century-old perfume brand, founded by mister Violet in 1827. Immediately intrigued and then deeply seduced by its history and its many secrets, bringing Maison Violet back to life was the obvious step for them. Together with top perfumer Natalie Lorson, they reformulated the historical fragrances, inspired by the brand's classics.  In doing so, they intertwined the rich heritage of this brand with the present, offering these elegant and modern creations.
