Violet Flower Absolute Oil (Viola odorata)

Soft, sweet, powdery, and floral — a classic violet absolute valued for perfume making, solid perfumes, and botanical formulations.

Our Violet Flower Absolute (Viola odorata) is a rare aromatic material derived from delicate violet blossoms and leaves. It offers a sweet floral aroma with soft, sweet, green, powdery, and lightly woody undertones, making it a key ingredient in both classic and modern fragrance design.

Unlike violet leaf, which is sharper and greener, violet flower absolute provides a smooth, romantic floral profile often associated with vintage perfumes, cosmetic powders, and soft floral blends. It is widely used in natural perfumery, solid perfume balms, and high-end cosmetic formulations.

Ideal for:
violet perfume making, floral fragrance design, solid perfumes, botanical skincare, powdery floral accords, and natural fragrance blends.
