Violet Leaf Absolute

Violet leaf absolute is an exquisite and unique essence extracted from the leaves of the Viola odorata plant, commonly known as the sweet violet. This extraction results in a highly concentrated, viscous, and dark green liquid. It is cherished in high-end perfumery for its unparalleled scent profile, which is complex and not straightforwardly floral.

The scent of violet leaf absolute is distinctly green and earthy, with a fresh and slightly aquatic touch. It often carries herbaceous undertones, reminiscent of cucumber and fresh-cut grass, that evoke the damp, cool essence of a shaded forest floor. Unlike the powdery sweetness of violet flowers, the leaf absolute is more subdued and sophisticated, providing a depth that balances well with floral, woody, and citrus notes.

Violet leaf absolute is typically used as a middle note in perfumery, lending body and richness to compositions. It blends particularly well with materials like rose, sandalwood, bergamot, and lavender, enhancing fragrances with its unique green and subtly floral nuances. Owing to its intensity and depth, it is used sparingly but effectively to add an element of freshness and natural complexity to luxury perfumes and scented products.
