About this product
Rain on young leaves, a shaded bank where violets hide, the season turning green again. Energetically and ritually, violet leaf is an oil of springtime, of new beginnings and new growth.
This is an exquisite absolute of Viola odorata, solvent-extracted from the leaves in Egypt and offered here in a 10 percent dilution in jojoba, so it is ready to use. It opens intensely green and settles into a soft, subtly floral dry-down. Valerie Worwood calls it silent, seductive and persuasive, and in perfumery it lends a green, leafy springtime note to Rose, Tuberose Absolute, Lemon, Clary Sage, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Basil, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Clove, Bay, Cinnamon, Geranium or Lavender. It has also been recommended in skin care blends for mature skin.
Details

How to use
At room temperature violet leaf is semi-solid, so warm the bottle to liquefy it before use. Then add it to perfumes and skin care blends for a fresh green lift. For external use only; never take it internally.
The first green of spring, already diluted and ready for your blends.
