Intensely green and leafy, with cool cucumber freshness, a damp earthy note and a slightly peppery undertone.
- Sweet violet seeds carry a nutrient-rich appendage that attracts ants – they carry the seeds to their nest and so spread the plant.
The green cucumber note of the leaf extract comes mainly from (2E,6Z)-nona-2,6-dienal (C₉H₁₄O), known as “violet leaf aldehyde”, and the related alcohol nona-2,6-dienol.
