What Is ALT Fragrances Simply Violette a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind ALT Fragrances Simply Violette is Le Labo Violette 30. It is a clone pairing built around violet, white tea and incense. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Simply Violette is paired with Le Labo Violette 30. Violet, white tea, aldehydes and rose connect the opening idea, while incense, saffron and cumin add contrast. Woods, amber and patchouli provide another set of details to follow beyond the floral name.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for ALT Fragrances Simply Violette include Violet, White Tea, Aldehydes, Rose, Incense and Saffron. Le Labo Violette 30 lists Violet, Aldehydes, White Tea, Rose, Incense and Cumin among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the violet with the incense and cumin. If you want a simple sweet violet, the additional spicy notes are worth trying first.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for ALT Fragrances Simply Violette and Le Labo Violette 30, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
