Natural or Synthetic?
Natural Violet Leaf absolute is extracted from the leaves of the Violet plant, typically through solvent extraction. This process is labor-intensive and yields a small amount of product, making it expensive. Synthetic alternatives, such as nonadienal and ionones, are used to replicate the green, fresh aroma of violet leaves. These synthetic compounds are preferred for their cost-effectiveness.
