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.
