Profile
Viola odorata is a small perennial plant with dark green, heart-shaped leaves and fragrant violet-blue flowers. A concrete is extracted by solvent extraction of the leaves, and an absolute by further extraction of the concrete. The absolute is a dark green viscous liquid. Violet Leaf Absolute has a strong, green, leafy aroma with a delicate floral undertone.
Pure, natural, highly concentrated Absolutes are produced from delicate leaves by very careful and gentle low temperature extraction procedures. Due to the minute amounts of oil present, this method is the only practical method of production. The intense labor involved with picking and processing as well as very low yields obtained, make absolutes more expensive than steam distilled essential oils.

AUROMA QUALITY
AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:
- BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
- CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
- GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
- COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
- WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
- EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
- ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
USES
- Just to smell: You can enjoy the aromatherapy of your favorite Essential oil or Blend without even taking it out of the bottle. Keep a bottle in your purse or your car. Simply open-up and smell. This can be particularly helpful during times of stress.
- As a natural Perfume: Violet Leaf Absolute is largely used in perfumery and fragrance. Due to its high cost and regular adulteration, Violet Leaf is not often used in aromatherapy. However, Oh My! AUROMA 100% pure, true Violet Leaf Absolute possesses a beautiful, intoxicating, floral aroma with a sweet and fruity character. If you can afford it, treat yourself just once. It is uplifting!
