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.

Our violet leaf “signature” absolute comes from Floral Concept, a renowned specialist supplier in Grasse. It is a signature product because it is the finest extraction of Egyptian violet leaves we have come across, with the perfect balance of floralcy and earthiness.

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

Violet Leaf 10% Superessence (Natural)

In dilution, violet leaf absolute contains a lot of non-soluble low (or no) odour matter. Our violet leaf 10% Superessence is a deep green crystal clear 10% dilution. To achieve this, we dilute the pure violet leaf absolute in a blend of natural Benzyl Benzoate (approximately 20%) and natural Triethyl Citrate (approximately 70%). We then perform a special filtration which removes any remaining insoluble product. This results in a purer and more concentrated product that can be used one for one in place of regular 10% dilution of violet leaf. This is a 100% natural product.
