Which botanical species does this orris absolute come from, and where is the rhizome sourced?
This orris absolute is solvent-extracted exclusively from peeled, naturally aged (minimum 3 years) rhizomes of Iris pallida Lam. (Dalmatian iris) and Iris germanica L., the two species specified in ISO 18054:2004. Florence, Italy, is the traditional producing region, and our supply chain follows the same botanical and aging discipline.

- Only Iris pallida and Iris germanica are recognized for true orris perfume material; other iris species yield little or no irone

Full traceability records, from cultivation to aging to extraction, are documented in the batch COA for your compliance review.
