ABOUT

Iris butter (orris butter) is the concentrated extract of aged iris rhizomes rich in irones, smelling cool, buttery, and exquisitely powdery with rooty, carroty, and faintly violet facets that evoke vintage cosmetics, soft suede, and chilled earth. In perfumery it functions as a refined heart-to-base note and fixative, imparting elegant powderiness and a buttery, suede-like texture to florals, woods, and chypres; used in tiny amounts for polish or at higher doses as a luxurious focal point.

The floral note category encompasses scents derived from the blossoms of various flowers, known for their rich, sweet, and often romantic characteristics. Common examples include rose, jasmine, lily, and peony, each offering unique olfactory profiles ranging from fresh and green to creamy and powdery. Floral notes can be single-note or blended to create complex bouquets, often used in perfumes to evoke feelings of femininity, warmth, and elegance. These scents are prevalent in both classic and contemporary fragrances, making them a cornerstone of perfumery.
