A 2005 survey reported by The Guardian revealed Parma Violets to be the least popular sweet among the Millennial generation. [18] Parma Violets are disc-shaped sweets similar to Fizzers but all lilac coloured with an almost 'scenty' taste and no fizziness. Swizzels Matlow has also released a line of Giant Parma Violets. Parma violets originated in the Levant, that is in Syria, Turkey and Lebanon. They were growing in what is now Italy by the 18th century. A favourite flower of Napoleon Bonaparte at least one variety was grown by the Empress Josephine’s gardeners at Malmaison where it was known as ‘La Violette de Parme’. Jones, R. A.

Even on a cold late autumn day I’m stopped by the scent of a bed of Palma Violets planted along a path which leads from my study to the nursery. Palma violets “... possess a delightful fragrance reminiscent of ordinary sweet violet perfume mixed with that of wallflowers”.* Little wonder that in the 19th century around Grasse in the south of France there were large plantings being grown for the perfume industry. Sadly in the 1890s a synthetic violet fragrance was discovered and was soon manufactured cheaply putting an end to the production of the natural oil.By the end of the 19th century many millions of plants were grown for the cut flower trade in Europe, the USA and Australia. The breeding of larger and healthier clones of Viola odorata saw a decline in the popularity of Parma violets which were much more difficult to grow. After the Second World War very few were grown. Sadly now in Australia very few violets at all are grown. This decline has been fairly recent. When I first landed in Melbourne fifty years ago bunches of sweet violets could be had from every greengrocer. Font Quer, Pio (1995).
