Violet leaf is a green, fresh and slightly floral extract with a characteristic leafy-green and cucumber-like brightness, supported by a soft, powdery depth.

This organic extraction is thinly liquid and therefore easy to incorporate into perfumes.

It gives compositions a natural, green elegance and a sophisticated freshness that fits perfectly into modern florals, green accords, iris compositions and chypres.

 

Fragrance Profile – Violet Leaf Extract

Green – Fresh – Leafy – Slightly floral – Powdery

Violet leaf has a pronounced green and bright fragrance character with a natural, almost transparent freshness.
It opens with a cool, cucumber-like tone and a vibrant leafy-green nuance, followed by a soft, subtly floral carpet pad reminiscent of violets and young leaves.

A light powderiness and a soft, almost iris-like elegance emerge in the base. The whole is fresh, sophisticated and modern – ideal for green accords, florals and chypres.

Technical note:

Osmanthus is not a true essential oil because the flowers cannot be steam distilled.
This product is an organic extraction, similar to an absolute but thinly liquid and easy to handle.
Therefore, it stands for optimal findability in both Absolues & Extracts and Essential Oils.

After organic extraction, vacuum distillation is used to purify the extract and make it thinly liquid for easier processing.

* Footnote:

Vacuum distillation is a purification step that takes place after the organic extraction of a flower material such as Narcissus or Osmanthus.

After the fragrances are first extracted from the flowers with a mild solvent, the extract is gently heated under reduced pressure (vacuum).
Due to the lower pressure, unwanted components – such as solvent residues, waxy compounds or heavy byproducts – evaporate at a much lower temperature than normal.

This prevents scent damage and provides a cleaner, more stable and often thin liquid end product.

So vacuum distillation does not change the way the fragrance is extracted, but refines the extract so that it is easier to incorporate into perfumes.
