Violet Leaf
Violet leaf is sharply green and watery, often suggesting crushed leaves, cucumber skin and a slightly metallic freshness. It is very different from powdery violet-flower notes.

It adds a cool, leafy edge to florals, leather and woods. Used sparingly, it can make a composition feel freshly cut, dewy or more angular.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
Natural violet leaf absolute is obtained from leaves. Perfumers can also build a leaf effect from aroma materials, so the note name alone does not establish whether the natural extract is present.
