## About
Hours after it is applied, bent over the desk at the end of the afternoon, you can still catch it: sweet, soft, reminiscent of violets, a scent that keeps you quiet company without filling the room.This is our orris root CO2 Select, extracted in Germany from organically grown roots of Iris germanica and diluted to 10% in odorless fractionated coconut oil for convenience. On first contact the dilution can show an odd note, but within a minute it warms to body temperature and becomes indistinguishable from the undiluted extract. Like Lilac CO2 and Sandalwood, orris needs the warmth of the body to open.Orris is reminiscent of violet, less intense, slightly woody and softly floral, and a major component in many violet leaf perfumes. Its traditional use is in perfumery, as a subtle violet note and a fixative that lends a blend longevity.DetailsBotanical name: Iris germanicaPlant part: rhizome, organically grownMethod: CO2 Select extraction, in GermanyDilution: 10% in fractionated coconut oilHow to useBuild it into a perfume blend as a floral anchor.
