Violets were first cultivated in Toulouse from 1850 in the Lalande quarter, with 600 families growing 30 tons of cut flowers a year by 1900. A Toulouse druggist first popularised crystallised violet candies in the early 20th century. The candies became permanent fixtures of Toulouse confectionery via Maison Pillon (1894). The recipe sugar-coats fresh violet petals one at a time, then dries them to lock in the perfume.
