Violet Flower Absolute Oil (Viola odorata, Europe)

I like it.

Very nice smell.

Is this real Violet?

I didn't know Violet Flower Absolute even existed, most resources claim the fragrance can only be captured through Enfleurage (perhaps now, also with CO2). Regardless of whether or not this is a true absolute from violet flowers, it is quite lovely material. It's not a true match to the natural violet fragrance, but it presents a facet of it that is alluring - powdery and soft, with an underlying green quality, and everything sweetens in the drydown. I got about three days of persistence on the strip.

Violet Flower Absolute

Just lovely! Wonderful material that I use in a few of my handcrafted all natural perfumes!
