Both the flower and the leaf may be used to produce violet oil. This is another fragrance that’s readily available in artificial form, as the natural product is cost prohibitive. While it is true that the leaf essential is less expensive to produce than the flower oil, neither one is cheaply manufactured. As its application affects the mental status more than the physical, violet oil is more commonly used for magical rather than therapeutic purpose, though it is not without value in treating some conditions of the mind.
