Grasse Violet Leaf

Grasse_violet_leaf, referring to the violet leaf harvested in Grasse, a region in France renowned for its perfume industry, offers a unique and highly esteemed scent profile. Distinct from the sweet, floral aroma of violet flowers, the leaf produces an odor that is green, earthy, and slightly floral with aqueous nuances. The scent is often described as having a cool, cucumber-like freshness, with hints of pea and subtle woody undertones. This makes it a popular choice in perfumery for adding depth and complexity to fragrances, particularly in green, fresh, or floral compositions. Extracted typically through steam distillation or solvent extraction, violet leaf absolute is a valuable ingredient, cherished for its ability to blend well and enhance the naturalistic aspects of perfume formulas.
