Description

Aged Orris Root (Iris germanica)

Aged Orris Root (Iris germanica) is one of the most exquisite and sought-after ingredients in natural perfumery. Prized for its delicate, powdery violet aroma, orris root has long been valued by perfumers for the refinement, softness and depth it can bring to a fragrance composition.

Its scent is floral, powdery and gently earthy, with a beautiful violet-like character that develops slowly and elegantly in tinctures and aromatic preparations. As a classic base note and fixative material, aged orris root can help anchor more volatile notes while contributing its own unmistakable softness and sophistication.

Used since antiquity in perfumery, incense and aromatic traditions, orris remains one of the most treasured botanical materials available to the natural perfumer.

This premium Iris germanica rhizome is supplied in peeled, cut form, making it suitable for tincturing, incense making and botanical fragrance study.

A Remarkable Moroccan Orris Batch

This batch was wild collected in southern Morocco and harvested in September 2022, giving it nearly four years of natural ageing at the time of sale.

It was manually cleaned, naturally dried, peeled and cut before being stored under dry, light-protected conditions.
