French Violet Leaf

French violet leaf, derived from the leaves of the violet plant (Viola odorata), is a precious ingredient in perfumery. The scent profile of violet leaf is distinct and complex, characterized by a green, aquatic, and slightly floral aroma. It has a fresh, cucumber-like undertone with hints of earthy and powdery notes, which conjures the fresh scent of a dewy garden in the early morning. This unique green note adds a clean, crisp dimension to fragrances, often used to impart a cool, leafy, and slightly metallic edge. Violet leaf is versatile and can be found in a variety of fragrance compositions including fresh florals, green accords, and modern, sophisticated blends. Its subtly sweet yet deep and resonant qualities make it a valuable component for adding an elegant and refined touch to perfumes.
