Orris Absolute

1 perfumes

Orris Absolute is one of the most prestigious materials in perfumery, derived from the rhizomes of the iris flower. It presents a complex, powdery profile characterized by distinct nuances of violet, earthy carrot, and a buttery, suede-like richness. Belonging to the floral family, it acts as a powerful fixative that adds depth and a sophisticated velvet texture to a composition. It pairs naturally with rose and jasmine in traditional floral bouquets, or with sandalwood to enhance its creamy facets. In the Gulf, this note is highly prized for its ability to soften the intensity of heavy compositions. It performs exceptionally well during the cooler winter months, providing a refined, elegant sillage that cuts through the dry air, making it a staple for formal evening gatherings where a subtle yet persistent presence is required.
