VIOLET LEAF
Violet leaf has a distinctly green, fresh, and slightly bitter herbal aroma. Unlike violet flower, which is sweet and powdery, violet leaf offers a crisp, cool, and sharp green scent with vegetal and slightly metallic nuances. It has a clean, sharp, and slightly astringent character that evokes the smell of freshly cut grass and green vegetation.
Origin & Extraction
Violet leaf is typically extracted through solvent extraction or steam distillation from the leaves of the Viola odorata plant, which is native to Europe and parts of Asia. The extraction process captures the green, fresh essence of the leaf, producing an absolute or essential oil used in perfumery.
