Nuée Bleue (meaning ‘blue cloud’) by Violet is a vintage iris perfume with a contemporary feel. It is feminine and elegant, with a soft woody and musky sillage.
Nuée Bleue was the last fragrance marketed by the eponymous perfume company in the mid-1950s, making it the ultimate witness of an era and a significant part of history. For Violet, Nuée Bleue has several meanings. It represented both a moment of fullness and great tension, an in-between state that perfectly embodied the “eau fraiche” genre. It also represents a moment where everything was both light and heavy, soaked and dry.

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.
Great combination
Powder
