It opens intensely green and dries down soft and subtly floral. The aromatherapist Valerie Worwood describes it as silent, seductive and persuasive. In perfumery it offers a wonderful green, leafy springtime note that blends beautifully with Rose, Tuberose Absolute, Lemon, Clary Sage, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Basil, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Clove, Bay, Cinnamon, Geranium or Lavender, and it is often suggested for skin care blends for mature skin.DetailsBotanical name: Viola odorataOrigin: EgyptMethod: solvent extraction of the leavesAvailable undiluted or as a 10 percent dilution in jojobaHow to useUse it by the drop in perfumes and skin care blends, diluted in a carrier oil, and let it bring a green, leafy freshness to florals and spices alike.
