Step into a world of earthy elegance with Violet Leaf Absolute Oil, a refined green floral extract with a soft, leafy aroma and fresh, powdery undertone. Sourced from the lush countryside of France, this oil is derived from the heart-shaped leaves of the Viola odorata plant—not the petals. Its unique scent is crisp, green, and slightly aquatic—ideal for those who prefer subtle sophistication over sweet florals.
Unlike typical essential oils, Violet Leaf Absolute is obtained via solvent extraction, a method suited for delicate plant material that doesn’t respond well to steam distillation. This preserves the complex aromatic profile, resulting in a deep, mossy-green oil that brings grounding and calm to blends.
Highly prized in niche perfumery, natural cosmetics, and aromatherapy, this absolute adds balance and sophistication to your routines—whether used alone or in synergy with other oils.

Origins and Extraction:
Our Violet Leaf Absolute is grown and harvested in the Grasse region of France, long revered as the fragrance capital of the world. The leaves are carefully selected, then processed using solvent extraction - the only method capable of preserving their volatile aromatic compounds. This technique yields a rich green oil that is thick in consistency and rich in aroma, without any synthetic additives or fillers.
How to Use Violet Leaf Absolute:
- Aromatherapy: Add 2–3 drops to a diffuser alongside other floral or citrus oils. It brings a leafy, grounding note to balance brighter oils like bergamot or neroli.
- Skincare (Diluted Use Only): Use 1 drop per 10ml carrier oil. Ideal for adding a green twist to facial oils or botanical serums. Do not apply neat to skin.
- Bath: Mix 2 drops with a tablespoon of carrier oil or unscented soap base before adding to water. The subtle leafy aroma is calming and restorative.
- Natural Perfume: Blend with other absolutes like jasmine or rose. A tiny amount adds a mossy freshness to bespoke blends. Start with 1–2 drops per 10ml base.
Cautions:
- External use only – not suitable for ingestion
- Must be diluted before skin application
- Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without professional advice
- Store in a cool, dark place
- Keep out of reach of children and pets
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Is this extracted from violet flowers?
No. Violet Leaf Absolute is made from the leaves of Viola odorata. While the flowers have a faint aroma, it's the leaves that produce this deep, green scent.
Can I use it in a diffuser?
Yes, although the oil is thick. It may need to be blended with lighter oils or diluted in a solubiliser to disperse fully in ultrasonic diffusers.
Does it smell like traditional violets?
Not quite. It’s more green and earthy than floral. Think fresh-cut leaves, not candy-like flowers.
Is it vegan and cruelty-free?
Absolutely. Our Violet Leaf Absolute is 100% plant-based and never tested on animals.
