Orris Root
Orris root essential oil (AKA Orris Butter) is one of the most precious perfume materials. The roots need to be peeled and aged for a long time before extraction and distillation. It is invaluable in perfumery, for its powdery and delicate aroma and its role in floral compositions (especially violet-like). Orris root is reminiscent of a baby’s head or soft skin. Orris is also used to soften woody, floriental and oriental compositions.
