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

Do you love Mad Men? Do you love the scent of violets? Do you want your mouth to taste and feel like heaven? If so, these lovely old fashioned candy mints are for you. A taste of nostaglia will transport you back in time to the olden days, when candy was fancy and unique. The lovely violet scent fills your senses as you open the beautiful purple and silver foil pack and your breath will smell amazing as you lets these disolve in your lucky mouth. Some comments I've heard is, "These are kind of chalky", and "Tastes like soap". Which I suppose is the opinion of those with no discernable taste, because these really are amazing. For the price, it is not really a risk to try them. Great for stocking stuffers at Christmas time.

I was glad I found these. I had no idea they still made these. Very unusual, and not for everyone, but I 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.

My mother introduced me to these when I was a little kid cause she ate them when she was a little kid and I’ve just become addicted to them. You must try.

I loved them BUT TOO EXPENSIVE FOR MY TASTE

If I could give these minus stars I would. They taste nothing like violets.they smell great but to me tastes like bad bug spray smells.

So like most others are saying, it definitely has that soapy perfume like flavor that people are talking about. It has a background sweetness that comes out after sucking on it for a minute. It's definitely a floral like flavor. My dad and I like them well enough and will eat the 3 packs that we bought. My co-workers however felt like they didn't hate it, but wouldn't eat one again if given a choice. They would never go out and buy this themselves. I don't really see myself paying what I did to buy these again. If I did, it would be a while from now. If these were like .89 cents a pack then maybe I'd buy one on a miscellaneous day.

My daughter’s favorites!
