Green, vegetal, floral, waxy, slightly earthy with cucumber and melon effect. The ultimate reference for green and floral long-lasting notes. It brings a high quality, watery, green and fruity facets in compositions.
In cosmetic applications, this extract brings a delicate “caring” effect. It blends very well with tuberose, narcissus, tea leaf absolute, clary sage absolute, estragon, cumin, basil, and with synthetic ingredients.
A primary extraction with a volatile solvent on fresh or dry biomass yields to a Concrete or Resinoid.
The Absolute is obtained via a second purification step in the process.

Viola odorata is a species of the genus Viola, native to Europe and Asia. The leaves and flowers of the common blue violet are edible and medicinal. They are often candied or used in salad, pastries, or syrup. Violet leaf absolute is widely used in modern perfumery. Of the total 450 species that are listed in the world, twenty of them grow in temperate climates, such as the Viola odorata which we use in perfumery.

The violet was first cultivated in Grasse and is now grown in Tourrettes-Sur-Loup and the Var. Due to extraction costs and development of synthetic “equivalents”, violet leave extracts have slowly decreased in France. However, dsm-firmenich is one of the few producers to offer a 100% pure violet leaf absolute sourced in France to keep supporting local farmers and promoting this quality.
