Violets emanate a sweet, powdery fragrance with floral undertones. Their scent is reminiscent of iris and heliotrope, offering a hint of green and woodsy notes. True violet (Viola odorata) possesses a delicate, ethereal aroma, while wild pansy (Viola tricolor) exudes a more herbal and earthy fragrance. Violet absolute and violet leaf absolute capture the rich, green, and slightly vegetal aspects of the plant, while violet flower essence provides a more intense and floral rendition of its scent.
