Origin & Lore

African violets are not true violets but members of the genus Saintpaulia from the mountains of Tanzania and Kenya. True violets have long been flowers of Venus, modesty and love. This oil is used for beauty, charm and a glowing aura.

Napoleon was so fond of violets that his supporters called him Corporal Violet, and wore violets as a secret sign while he was in exile on Elba.

African violets were brought to Europe in 1892 by a German colonial official, Walter von Saint Paul, whose name gave the genus Saintpaulia. Greek poets called Athens violet-crowned, and violets were woven into garlands for love and festivals.
