Orris

Orris is a vital ingredient in perfumery, derived from the roots of the Iris plant, particularly Iris pallida. Valued for its unique powdery, floral scent, orris adds complexity and depth to fragrances. It undergoes a lengthy and meticulous drying process, enhancing its aroma and character. Often used as a fixative, orris helps to stabilize and prolong the fragrances in which it is used. Its luxurious and elegant nature makes it a popular choice among perfumers for both masculine and feminine compositions.
