VIOLET
Violet is a delicate, soft, and powdery floral note with a subtle green and slightly sweet nuance. It has a gentle, romantic, and nostalgic scent profile that is both ethereal and slightly melancholic. The aroma is light, clean, and reminiscent of vintage perfumery and classic elegance.
Origin & Extraction
Violet is primarily extracted from the flowers of Viola odorata, a small perennial plant native to Europe and parts of Asia. Due to the delicate nature of the flowers, natural extraction is challenging and expensive. Most violet notes in modern perfumery are created using synthetic aroma compounds like ionone, which closely mimic the flower's natural scent.
