Violets in Perfumery

This edit is showcasing the use of violets in perfumes.

It can be violet leaf absolute (still a natural material derived from the plant). Otherwise there are plenty of  violet flower aroma interpretations. The violet flower aroma in perfumery nowadays is predominantly a reconstruction, as enfleurage (when each blossom is picked by hand and put in a tray of fat to release its oils) is too labour intensive and prohibitively expensive to use. However, there are still some clever and delightful reproductions.

Bendelirious (ELDO)

For violet leaf absolute try

An intricate formula where two roots (iris and violet) are used to create the sweetest of leathers.

Cynefin (Rouge Bunny Rouge)

For violet leaf absolute try

Cynefin (Welsh for habitat) is a formula in which all ingredients have been carefully selected to remind you of damp soil in a forest after the rain. A very different kind of freshness compared to conventional citruses or marines, in Cynefin it comes from wet moss, violet leaf and herbs.

Aleksandr (Arquiste)

For violet leaf absolute try

A witty reference to a 19th century formula when dandies would use violet water (not cologne) to moisturize the skin. Violet leaf absolute smells green, leathery and a touch earthy on its own but in a formula can provide a perfect lasting shady background for lighter notes.

Chambre Noir (Olfactive Studio)

For a gourmand violet nuance try

Chambre Noir stands for dark room and is built around one of the darkest materials in perfumery: patchouli. The note of violet props patchouli’s earthy nuance and adds further intensity.

Queen of Spades (Brocard)

For violets petals jam aroma try 

Sweet like violet petals jam, the fragrance has a plump floral core of magnolia, jasmin, lily-of-the-valley, violet and orchid that's accentuated neatly with the sweetened musks and woody structure of the base.

Tindrer (Baruti)

For violet leaf absolute try 

As with most of Baruti’s formulas Tindrer is a study of a rare natural perfume material, violet leaf in all its bitterish green beauty.

Nightingale (Zoologist)

For violets bouquet aroma try 

A subtle linear floral beading sweet flowers one by one: violets, plum blossom, rose and stitching them onto a sensual sandalwood-ambergis canvas.

Violet Disguise (Imaginary Authors)

For bon-bon violet flower interpretation try

Violet flowers aroma as we know it from candied purple sweets and violet petals jam quite popular in France. As Imaginary Authors put it: “This is a versatile fragrance that will remind you of the simpler joys in life.” Very Amelie Poulain.
