Iris Accord

An iris fragrance accord is celebrated for its sophisticated, powdery, and slightly woody aroma. Primarily derived from the rhizomes (roots) of the iris plant, particularly Iris pallida or Iris germanica, it involves a complex extraction process that leads to the creation of orris butter or orris root, the key ingredient responsible for the distinct scent. This accord blends well with floral, woody, and musky notes, often pairing with violet, rose, and sandalwood to enhance its refined and elegant character. In perfumery, iris lends a luxurious, creamy depth that anchors lighter notes and adds a velvety texture to the fragrance composition. Its scent is subtle yet persistent, conveying a sense of vintage charm and contemporary sophistication.
