Violet Mints Candy | Bold Aromatic Flavor | Perfect for Snacks in Lunchboxes, Travel, Sharing, and Gifting | Nostalgic Vintage Candy | 3 Pack (15 Mints Per Package)

These are my all time favorite. I loved these since was a kid now I’m old and I got my granddaughter hooked on them

I bought some of these candies awhile back and really liked them. I used to see them at "penny candy" stores years ago and about forgot the name of them. It wasn't until I looked up the name and then saw them sold on Amazon, that I had to get them again. They're a hard candy, small square shaped and purple in color. The flavor is really different but special. It's suppose to taste like the the actual flower essence of violets. I think it does.! I thought at first that maybe "Violets" is just a name for candy because of the purple color but flavored with Lavender(another flower used in desserts, also). Unfortunately, the flavoring is artificial according to the label, otherwise tastes great.! I maybe order some more again one day.

Arrived well packaged. I could smell them through the plastic wrapping, that familiar scent that took me way back. Happy with my purchase.

I loved these so much as a child. I found them again and still love them!

I love all things violet-flavored and floral flavors in general, so when I saw these (in the recommended when purchasing another brand and type of violet mints I like), I had to try them. Superficially speaking, the packaging/wrapper design is beautiful, and delightfully 'retro'. The fragrance and taste of these mints is simply fantastic, and I most appreciate its strength/intensity--whereas with Parma Violets (their British counterpart, more-or-less) the flavor is very subtle and sort of muted, these have a wonderfully potent flavor with strongly vegetal undertones. Not to give the wrong impression (as this may not sound appealing at first, but it is, trust me), but with these it's almost like you can taste a hint of the green stems/leaves/foliage of the violets as well as the flower itself. I prefer strong, sharp, bold flavors in anything edible (I suspect I'm a bit of a "nontaster", with less taste perception than average), so these mints are perfect for me. The sole glaring downside, honestly, is the price. They're rather expensive for what they are and how many you get (only 15 per roll, and they're small and dissolve rapidly). Since I enjoy them so much, I'm going to see if I can find them cheaper and/or in bulk elsewhere, as I go through them so quickly.

Very lovely scent, and it made my bag smell like old perfume. Initially, the taste was soapy, but having a few more make you barely notice it. They have a pleasant floral taste. However, as a mint, they don't make your breath smell like perfume (my reason for purchasing these "mints"). They have a lot of sugar in them, so they only make your breath smell worse, like you've eaten SweetTarts. You could eat them like candy, but don't let the word "mints" fool you.

Absolutely terrible. I have had similar mints in Euroupe that actually smell like violets and have a nice flavor. These mints taste like a chemical mess. Do not buy them.

My daughter’s favorites!
