About this product
The first warm morning of spring, crushed green leaves underfoot and the faintest breath of violets somewhere close. Ritually and energetically, violet leaf is an oil of springtime, of new beginnings and new growth.
It is Viola odorata, solvent-extracted from the leaves in Egypt, an exquisite absolute we went looking for after a great many requests. 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.
Details
- Botanical name: Viola odorata
- Origin: Egypt
- Method: solvent extraction of the leaves
- Available undiluted or as a 10 percent dilution in jojoba
How to use
Use 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. Never take it internally. If you would rather not dilute it yourself, choose the 10 percent dilution in jojoba.
A small bottle of first spring, for the blends that need a green beginning.
