How would you describe the aroma profile of this orris absolute?
This orris absolute delivers the legendary warm powdery-woody violet-floral fragrance — a velvety-soft ionone heart with a classic orris-butter elegant drydown. It is the most regal and sophisticated of all natural aromatic materials: soft, powdery and refined rather than loud, functioning as a skin-scent soul of luxury perfumery.
Aroma Profile
| Note | Character |
|---|---|
| Top | Fresh, subtle green-woody lift |
| Heart | Velvety powdery violet-ionone, sweet floral |
| Drydown | Warm, creamy orris-butter, elegant woody-powdery |
- The powdery violet impression comes from the natural irone isomers (α, β, γ) formed during 3+ years of aging
- It carries a natural richness that synthetic ionones cannot fully reproduce, which is why premium perfume houses pay premium prices
- Compared with neroli or lavender, orris is a base-note material: it imparts depth, elegance and a cosmetic-like powder-scent to the whole composition
