Why do lipsticks always have more or less the same scent? In France, until the Revolution, people of the court would spritz their wigs with a blend of crushed iris roots and rice powder, and that iris-y sillage remained. Violet appeared later, at the end of the 19th century, in the first solid sticks, and became the norm in the 1920s when lipsticks were aromatised with the violet candy flavour fashionable at the time. The harmonies of iris, violet and raspberry have the advantage of being rather lovely when you run your tongue over your lips.
