This Orris Absolute, solvent extracted from the dried rhizomes of \u003cem\u003eIris germanica\u003c\/em\u003e, offers a genuinely different route into the orris family: an approachable, fluid absolute with a lighter irone content than our premium Pallida and Germanica resinoids, making it a natural starting point for perfumers wanting to explore the powdery-violet character of orris without committing to the price of the aged, high-irone materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a substitute for the depth and complexity of our aged resinoids — it is a distinct material in its own right, lighter and more immediately floral, with real charm and versatility for compositions that call for a softer orris presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSmooth, floral, and gently powdery — the opening is sweet and violet-forward, with a soft, creamy quality reminiscent of milky white chocolate. Subtle bitter-green undertones lend the material a touch of natural dryness and realism, preventing it from reading as merely sweet, while gentle nutty facets add depth as it develops. The overall impression is light and elegant rather than dense or resinous — a more immediately accessible expression of the orris character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA versatile middle note and fixative, well suited to powdery florals, soft ambers, musky compositions, and suede-style accords where a gentle orris presence is wanted without excessive depth or cost. It blends readily with violet, rose, and jasmine in floral structures, and with sandalwood, cedarwood, vanilla, and soft musks in woody-ambery compositions. A useful and affordable way to bring orris character into a working palette, or to layer alongside our premium resinoids for added complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlending Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with violet, rose absolute, jasmine, sandalwood, cedarwood, vanilla, cocoa absolute, soft musks, and leather accords. Works well layered with our Orris Pallida or Orris Germanica Resinoids for a more complex, multi-dimensional orris accord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eIris germanica\u003c\/em\u003e L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orris Absolute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iridaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iris Germanica Root Extract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8002-73-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried rhizome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solvent extraction (absolute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIrone Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle note, fixative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fluid liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdour Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral \/ Powdery \/ Violet \/ Sweet \/ Warm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — 100% pure natural absolute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e A lighter, more accessible orris material — distinct in character and price from our premium aged Orris Pallida and Orris Germanica Resinoids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1ml sample supplied in a 5ml clear flint glass bottle. 5ml, 10ml and 30ml supplied in amber glass bottles — all with inbuilt droppers and tamper evident caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only.
