Additional information
Violet leaves and flowers have distinct scent profiles: while the leaves provide green, earthy notes, the blossoms yield a sweet, powdery fragrance used in different types of perfumes.
The historical use of violet in perfumery dates back to ancient Greece, and it gained particular popularity during the Victorian era when violet scents were considered a symbol of elegance and romance.
Chemical compounds called ionones found in violets have the property of temporarily desensitizing olfactory receptors, creating a unique sensory experience where the scent seems to fade and then reappear.
