DESCRIPTION

Orris Pallida Butter (15% Irones) is one of the most prestigious and sought-after raw materials in luxury perfumery.

Extracted from aged rhizomes of Iris pallida, this natural butter reveals a powdery, floral and velvety scent with elegant woody, ambery and slightly buttery nuances.

Its 15% content of irones—the aromatic molecules responsible for the characteristic iris fragrance—gives it exceptional depth, sophistication and longevity, making it one of the noblest and most captivating bases in high-end fragrance creation.

PERFUMERY

In artisanal and niche perfumery, Orris Pallida Butter is a heart-base note that brings elegance, softness and a powdery sensuality to compositions. Its refined aroma recalls talc, violet and soft skin, offering a uniquely rounded presence that enhances harmony and longevity.

It is ideal in floral, powdery, chypre, ambery and woody fragrances, where it also acts as a natural fixative. It blends beautifully with rose, violet, sandalwood, vanilla, amber and white musks, creating sophisticated feminine or unisex perfumes filled with grace and refinement.

Often called the “white gold of perfumery,” orris pallida butter is prized for its rarity, its long maturation process (over 3 years), and its unmatched olfactory power.

Also available at 10% in Natural TEC for easier dosing and improved diffusion.
