It is truly reminiscent of the violet flowers only when diluted below one percent in an odorless solvent.
It has a very delicate, sweet-floral odor.
True violet flower absolute could be used in high-class perfumes along with cassie absolute, mimosa, boronia, costus, orris, clove bud absolute, ylang-ylang absolute, gamma-methyl ionone, delta-methyl ionone, sandalwood oil, bergamot oil, dodecanal, myristic aldehyde, isopropyl non-ylate, vanoris, vertenex HC, etc.
