Violet leaf is an absolute prepared from the plant's leaves, resulting in a deep green liquid with a distinct leafy aroma reminiscent of sliced cucumbers or grass.
Violet Leaf Absolute is extracted from the fresh green leaves of Viola odorata. The result is a rich, deep green semi-solid material that carries a powerful leafy, herbaceous aroma. Its scent is often described as green, crisp, and slightly earthy, with nuances reminiscent of freshly cut grass, cucumber peel, and even a hint of hay or tea-like dryness. Unlike violet flower extracts, which are rare and delicate, violet leaf absolute offers a stronger green character that lends body and freshness in perfumery.
This absolute is widely valued as a middle-to-base note, contributing natural green tones and depth to floral, chypre, and fougère compositions. In small amounts, it provides a clean and elegant leafy lift; at higher concentrations it can bring a bold, almost leathery green presence. Its aromatic profile also has subtle ozonic facets, making it useful in recreating fresh outdoor accords.
Beyond perfumery, violet leaf absolute is sometimes incorporated into high-end skincare, though sparingly, as it is highly concentrated. The presence of natural ionones and related compounds contribute to its distinctive character and blending versatility.
