CAS: 79-69-6 Classification: Base Note[i]When Orris Absolute (80% Irones) went past six figures in cost per kilogram, Irone Alpha stepped up to takes it place in most fragrances. While it doesn't have the complexity of Orris Absolute (which is a blend of Irone Alpha, Irone Gamma and Irone Beta), it is incredibly beautiful, powerfully diffusive and radiant.
Irone Alpha is sweet and fruity (towards a raspberry note) with woody and seedy nuances and a distinctly iris heart.
There is no question at all: no perfume lab is complete without this material. It is pricey but a little goes a long way. Effective from traces so we also offer it at 10% dilution in DPG.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
