    Iris is perhaps the most esteemed natural in perfumery. It comes in multiple forms depending on use and Fraterworks stocks all of them! Orris is a complex material so here is a little primer on the types.

    Orris Tincture (variable Irones): Clear liquid. Alcohol extract from powdered iris roots.
    Orris Resinoid (1 – 10% Irones): Dark brown thick paste. Alcohol extracted.
    Orris Butter (10 – 20% Irones): Solid white wax. Also sometimes called orris concrete or orris essential oil. Steam distillation.
    Orris Absolute (80% Irones): Clear liquid. Almost never available for retail sale.

    Orris absolute is rarely seen in modern fragrances; the most notable recent exception was the masterpiece Dior Homme (2005 edition) with 0.25% and 0.3% in Iris Ganache (Guerlain, 2007). 

    Of all the orris materials, the absolute has the most profoundly strong scent of orris root and a little goes a long way which is fortunate because the price is eye watering.

    This orris absolute is from orris Pallida.

    Warning: This is a raw material for the manufacture of perfumes. Do not consume. Do not apply directly to skin. Keep out of reach of children.

    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.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 100%
    IFRA 49: 100%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    These raw materials are for use by the perfumery trade only.

    I love iris and have collected various aromachemicals, bases, and orris butters over the years. I had never experienced orris absolute. This material is incredible. Even in 10% dilution it is extremely potent woody, rooty, and carroty. Tiny amounts added to Fraterworks Demo formulas for No. 5, Nineteen, and Rallet no.1 transformed the perfumes. The orris absolute not only added a beautiful orris depth, it exalted the other notes similar to the way civet and ambergris behave in a formula. This is worth the price. You only need a little.
