Violet Leaf Absolute Super Premium
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of violet leaf absolute is heady, leafy-green, earthy, with woody and candy violet sweet nuances. Very unique and exceptionally tenacious material. Violet leaf is a middle note and blends beautifully with floral and herbaceous absolutes such as cassie, mimosa, osmanthus, blue lotus, narcissus, green and black teas, magnolias, tuberose and clary sage. Adds volume and diffusiveness to heart notes and provides an interesting twist to rose accords.
Violet leaf absolute is dark green in colour and a somewhat thick material that benefits from gentle warmth prior to use. The Viola genus consists of some 500 annual and perennial species and are probably best known as Pansies in most gardens. A lovely species to grow is Viola cornuta alba, the flowers are star shaped, delicate and look outstanding in a rockery.”

Excellent quality violet leaf ..from the first sniff you get a blast of fresh green velvet notes that almost is refreshing to your brains .it reminds me of matcha tea almost and is such a unique material that you just can’t stop smelling till you create in your mind the total blend with it..either go dark green bouquet or softened it with lighter more delicate flower absolutes

This material is absolutely gorgeous, rich in deep green, almost candy like and grass notes, it is complex and needs to be diluted in order to get the best of it.

Adam’s description is bang on for this wonderful Violet Leaf Absolute and I can’t wait to actually use it – if I can drag my nose away from the bottle for long enough.

To inhale this is to sink into a dense and waxy, inky-earthy violet realm – smooth, damp, comforting and vegetal … a woodland floor in a Celtic rainforest. This place is always cool and mossy green, bedded down in layers of leafmould and centuries of thick moss, a constant presence of powdery-woody-green-earthy violets: such is a natural violet; this enthralling Violet Leaf Absolute.
There’s no hint of the sickly ‘parma violet sweets’ scent we grew up, nor the strident hit of violet water worn by great aunts – this is a pure unadulterated violet leaf of ancient woodlands, whose dry down brings a milky violet floral undertone and a whisper of something resembling sacred nagarmotha.
Unique, mysterious, dark and quietly brooding; perfect for the woodland alchemist.

Who knows the Violet essence of the leaves, knows that it will never smell like a Violet flower. Because he can’t. Because they smell so special and exceptional that you will not expect the softness of flowers such as violet soaps. This is a green monster in a good way. Irreplaceable in the collection of essential oils. If you don’t have it yet, you can regret it. Violet leaf is needed in the collection as sandalwood, incense, rose, neroli, oud..If you order a Violet Leaf from someone and it will smell strongly floral like a violet flower, return it immediately. You bought stupidity. Don’t miss Adam’s violet leaf!

All I can do while writing this very belated review (as it is currently out of stock), is to dive into delight, smearing a generous drop on my fingers from the bottle I have from pre-pandemic times (it ages gloriously), and feel lucky with this most wonderful, virtuoso orchestrated symphony of exquisite Greenery, dedicated to hail goddesses of Youth and Mischief.
Opening on my nose – straight from the bottle with a cherubic eye watering freshness of wild strawberries (Fragolina di Bosco, oooooh!),
then quickly diffuses into most spell-binding, ambrosial green mash-up – a crushed pile on the floor of a florist shop – on the eve of Summer Solstice night celebrations, evoking cut-off leaves and buds of roses, peonies, freesias and lilacs; then they’re joined by a supporting humming duo of Honey and Roman Cassie Mimosa, occasioanlly intermingled with Orange blossom (or is it Frangipani?), and overripe Apricot jam wiffs – out of nowhere! All over it – there is ethereal faint overtone of fresh clove bud, playing picaboo with famous and unique cucumber playful note;
– and then happy juicy fruity greenery all over again in pleasant scales and radiant arpeggios,
The green picaboo carousel of frolicking Putti is finally jointed in the drydown (on my skin) by a gossamer cloud of powdery Orris-root ghost – but DNA-umistakable (I bet, traceable in HRGC test), unique and truly rapturous aroma of fresh violets – If you are lucky to know how they smell in reality. Delicious verdant nectar, essential for creating refined Tops and floral Hearts, when the most beautiful and dreamy vibe of Summer Night gardens is required.
If you want a fully immersive hedonist experience with Violet leaf absolute – daze yourself into its cloud with generous amount of a few drops from head to toes, and then put Mozart Piano Concerto No. 17 – in full blast 🙂
In aroma-psychological aspect of Violet leaf effects on our feelings and emotions, it appears to be (unsurisingly) powerful uplifting post-traumatic antidepressant (for instance, paired with Bergamot, Clary Sage or Neroli).

This violet leaf absolute is, in a way, already a perfume in its own right – one I would call «Magic Forest.» Everything you might dislike in typical violet leaf absolutes is absent here. All the best qualities are present. There’s no acrid scent so often found in similar materials. It’s multilayered and airy, without excessive bitterness or sweetness, yet such complexity! This scent is a journey of discovery, full of nuances, and ultimately, it’s simply beautiful.
