Aromatherapy Properties: (Uses) Violet Leaf Absolute is used as an adjunct in high-quality perfumes. FYI: There's no steam distillation of violet flowers. An absolute is one of those means and is obtained by immersing the flowers in a solvent (usually hexane) which produces a waxy substance known as a concrete. The solvent is then removed from the concrete resulting in a thick oil known as an absolute which carries the properties of the essential oil in the flowers.

Blends well with: Citrus oils, minty oils, as well as Jasmine Absolute and other florals. Clary Sage, Benzoin, Cumin, Basil Holy, Sandalwood East Indian, spices, Geranium, and Lavender

Absolute Oils: This Oil is an Absolute Oils. Many times distillation of a plant by steam method does not extract as much natural oil from the plant, or in some cases, breaks down the precious natural oil in delicate flowers. The solvent extraction method is often used in these cases. As a rule, absolutes are more concentrated than a similar essential oil. Therefore, an absolute goes much further than the essential oil counterpart. Silky Scents ™ Provides you the highest grade of Absolute Oils.
