Violet Leaf CO₂ Wax, derived from the tender green leaves of Viola odorata, is one of the most elegant and emotionally evocative materials in natural perfumery. Extracted through supercritical CO₂ technology, this precious wax preserves the deep, green-floral aroma and skin-nourishing properties of violet leaves in their purest form.

This wax embodies a perfect balance of fragrance and function — simultaneously aromatic, soothing, and sensorial. Its scent evokes the quiet calm of shaded gardens, damp earth, and spring’s awakening freshness. Used in luxury perfumery, holistic skincare, and aromatherapy, Violet Leaf CO₂ Wax is a material of profound subtlety, serenity, and beauty.


Aromatic Profile

 
The scent of Violet Leaf CO₂ Wax is green, earthy, powdery, and softly floral, a unique harmony of vegetal freshness and quiet elegance. Its aromatic journey begins with crisp leafy notes, moves through subtle floral tones with hints of iris and hay, and ends in a gentle woody-mossy dry-down that lingers like a whisper of spring air.

Compared to violet leaf absolute, the CO₂ wax has a softer, more rounded aroma, less metallic and more balanced, with delicate creamy undertones.

In perfumery, Violet Leaf CO₂ Wax functions as a heart-to-base note, adding realism, sophistication, and natural freshness to compositions. It pairs beautifully with:

Floral oils: Rose, Jasmine, Mimosa, Ylang-ylang.

Woody and resinous notes: Cedarwood, Vetiver, Frankincense, Sandalwood.

Greens and herbs: Clary sage, Basil, Galbanum, and Oakmoss.


It provides depth and a natural, grounded character to chypre, fougère, and green-floral perfumes, as well as solid perfumes, botanical balms, and aromatic candles. Its aroma lends sophistication, balance, and serenity — a green soul within every blend
