About Iris Pallida Butter
Scent Profile
Iris pallida butter comes from rhizomes that are dried and aged rather than from the petals. It can suggest face powder, chalk, dry earth, pale wood, violet, and cool butter. Its effect is less a blooming flower than a study in powder, surface, light, and shadow.
Use in Perfumery
It brings refined dryness and depth to powdery, floral, woody, leather, and musky compositions. Iris can calm rose and white flowers, give musks a marble or cosmetic whiteness, and soften the edges of woods and leather. Even a small amount can change the texture and perceived quality of a fragrance.
Did You Know?
Natural iris material is generally made from harvested rhizomes that must dry and mature for years before extraction. The time and quantity of raw material required make it one of perfumery's most precious ingredients. The word butter refers to the extract's physical texture, not to a dairy smell.
