Which do you guys prefer? I don't seem to read as much about the violet.

Had it and didn't care for it much. I say rose but don't listen to me.![]()

I love both the violet and rose, but prefer violet. If you haven't tried it before, see if you can nab a sample of the cream from Trumpers. I find the soap and cream scents to be equivalent.

I don't like the scent of the violet, so Rose for me.

There are several good roses out there but I think Violet is Trumpers' stand out scent. It's one of my all time favorite creams.

I have both and I prefer the Rose. The Violet was at first an overpowering, sickly sweet fragrance. It has settled down since and I can use it now, but I still prefer the Rose.

I like the lime and almond better.

I like both but have been using violet the past week. I really like violet.
Violet for me. The rose smells too false, or something. The violet cream smells like fresh cut flowers. You should get the samples, however, and make up your own mind. I have a feeling that the responses to this query will be fairly evenly split.

I've read before that the violet cream can dye your silvertip permanently purple.

It wouldn't surprise me if the violet stains (permanent or not) - the rose stained my boar but I haven't really looked to see if it is coming out.
That said, I really enjoy the subtle scent of the violet soap. Rose is good, but violet is more toned down and natural smelling.
