Who else feels the magic when stumbling across a patch of newly blooming violets?

Viola Odorata is a really rare, expensive and precious extract in perfumery as you need so many violets to create even a drop of pure extract. Today, it is highly unusual to find perfume containing real violet. Its sweet, powdery scent is usually replaced with a synthetic version.

However you can still get essential oil of violet leaf which has the most amazing fresh green cut grass, cucumber and melon notes. A little goes a very long way!

Other uses for the flowers are flavouring sugar, making a sugar syrup or sugared flowers. You could also try a mini home enfleurage too.

The main problem is finding a patch you know a dog or animal won’t have weed on, as they tend to appear in grass or on low banks!

Fruit colours are so beautiful and how pretty do they look when they bleed into one another?!

The shapes of the fruits start to look really regal too. Going to attempt a really big pattern next time.
