Iris

Floral Notes
Iris is a complex and sophisticated fragrance note characterized by a powdery, soft, earthy, and slightly woody aroma. It has a delicate, elegant scent with nuanced undertones of violet, root-like earthiness, and a subtle buttery quality. The fragrance is often described as cool, refined, and somewhat melancholic.
Iris (orris root) is extracted from the rhizomes of certain iris species, primarily Iris pallida, Iris germanica, and Iris florentina. The root is harvested, dried for 3-5 years, and then ground into a powder. The extraction process is complex and expensive, involving steam distillation or solvent extraction to produce iris butter or iris absolute.
