Orris Butter 18% Irone is one of the most luxurious and rare natural ingredients used in fine perfumery. Derived from the aged rhizomes of Iris pallida cultivated in France, the production of orris butter is among the most labor-intensive processes in the fragrance industry. After harvesting, the roots must mature and dry for 2 to 3 years before distillation and further aging develop the precious irone molecules responsible for its iconic aroma.
At room temperature, Orris Butter is semi-solid with a smooth, buttery texture that spreads easily, reflecting its purity and richness. With 18% irone content, it delivers a refined, powerful iris profile prized by perfumers worldwide.
Olfactively, it reveals an elegant harmony of floral, powdery, woody, creamy, and subtle white chocolate-like nuances. Its depth and sophistication make it indispensable in luxury fragrance creation. Orris Butter blends beautifully with sandalwood, cedarwood, violet, rose, and soft musks. It also functions as a natural fixative, enhancing longevity and structure in high-end perfume compositions.
