    Violet leaf absolute is one of the most useful in perfumery, lending naturalness and freshness to virtually all types of fragrances. As a modifier to the ionone family they are unsurpassed by synthetics. From traces (in fragrances such as L'Origan by Coty) to overdoses of nearly 1% pure in 1000 by Jean Patou, violet leaves contribute a magical quality that simply can't be replicated.

    Intsensely green, oily, earthy and floral, violet leaf “signature” absolute is best appreciated in diution where its myriad complex layers reveal themselves fully.

    Violet Leaf ”Signature“ Absolute, An Indepth Look:

    Far more important in perfumery than the flower absolute (which is hardly available any more) are the extraction products of violet leaves. The leaves are derived from Viola Odorata, the so-called Victoria variety which is cultivated extensively in the coastal region south of Grasse, France. The plant is also cultivated in northern Italy for the extraction of leaf absolute and, more recentIy, China has started production of this interesting perfume material.

    Violet Leaf Absolutes are produced by petroleum ether extraction of the freshly harvested leaves. The resulting extract is the concrete of violet leaves. By alcohol washing, chilling and filtration of the alcoholic extract and subsequent evaporation in vacuum, an absolute is obtained. This is a viscous liquid, intensely dark green and possessing, truly a green-Ieaf odor, but with an indisputable floral and delicate note which makes it immediately reminiscent of violets in a bouquet (flowers, stems, leaves).

    is used extensively in perfumery where its tremendous diffusion and delicate naturalness is obtainable at very low concentrations of the absolute in a perfume or base. In certain floral bases, eg hyacinth, muguet, reseda, violet and in high-class chypres, in aldehydic-woody fragrances and in many fantasy types, it lends an unsurpassed elegance when skilfully used.
