Description
Violet Leaf - Absolute Oil moves through crushed violet leaf, green sap, and cool metallic air towards cucumber skin, damp earth, and a dry leafy trace. The result is a concentrated material with both immediate presence and a slower structural effect.
In green florals, violet accords, modern colognes, soaps, body oils, and fine fragrance, it can behave as an accent, a link between notes or the central idea. The right level depends on which of those jobs it needs to perform.
Trial it progressively and evaluate after settling. Too much may make the formula metallic, bitter, or overly damp; controlled use keeps the profile detailed and allows neighbouring materials to remain visible.

Cautions
It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - become lost.
