Violet Absolute

Violet absolute is an exquisite and highly valuable essential oil derived from the leaves of the violet plant (Viola odorata), primarily through solvent extraction. This method helps preserve its rich and complex aroma, which is more intense and earthier than the lighter, sweeter scent of violet flowers themselves.

The scent profile of violet absolute is deeply floral and green with powdery nuances, making it a favorite in the creation of perfumes, particularly those that lean towards sophisticated, floral compositions. It has an underlying woody and slightly sweet aroma with hints of cucumber and earth tones, enhancing its uniqueness. This complex profile allows it to add depth and a touch of mystery in perfumery, blending well with other floral notes like rose and jasmine, as well as with woody and musky bases.

Violet absolute is not only cherished for its captivating fragrance but also for its rarity and the labor-intensive process required for its production, making it a precious component in luxury fragrances. Its rich, multi-dimensional scent makes it a versatile ingredient, suitable for both feminine and masculine perfumes, and contributes to creating memorable, long-lasting olfactory experiences.
