Violet Leaf Absolute

Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata) is a concentrated aromatic extract obtained from the leaves of the violet plant. Unlike essential oils, this absolute is produced using solvent extraction to capture the delicate green-leaf fragrance that steam distillation cannot achieve.

Aroma
Fresh, green, and earthy with subtle floral undertones; intensely rich, with just a few drops adding depth to blends.

Traditional Use
Long prized in perfumery, violet leaf has been used to create elegant, grounding base notes and to balance brighter floral accords.

Benefits
Its complex, leafy aroma brings a cooling, grounding quality to aromatherapy blends and provides a lush, natural green note in perfumery.

How to Prepare & Use

• Perfumery & Blending: Use in very small amounts (often pre-diluted to 5–20% in a carrier oil or alcohol) as a base or modifier in perfumes and aromatherapy blends.

• Topical: Always dilute before applying; best used sparingly due to its intensity.

Storage Tip
Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dark place; gentle warming may be needed if the absolute thickens.

Safety Note
For external use only. Highly concentrated—use sparingly and always dilute before skin application.
