Short profile

This material presents a quintessential iris scent that is powdery, chilled, and distinctly refined. The profile is anchored by a prominent violet nuance paired with a buttery, rhizome-like richness and an earthy, woody dryness. Devoid of sweetness, the fragrance also displays hints reminiscent of carrot and raspberry while projecting an unmistakably luxurious aura across its long life from the top through to the deep foundation of a blend.

Effect in a formula

The absolute infuses blends with a cool, powdery-rhizomatous natural prestige that elevates floral bouquets to a high-end plane. It breathes vital life and authentic soul into synthetic ionones, particularly in violet and powdery accords. Beyond florals, it adds remarkable structure and sophistication across woody, powder-focused, and elegant compositions.

Behaviour and performance

Tenacity
Demonstrates excellent substantivity, documented at 296 hours on a smelling strip.

Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.

Dissolving and diluting

Solvents
Pre-dissolved in ethanol, the solution blends transparently with ethanol and dipropylene glycol (DPG). It is not miscible with carrier oils like IPM or MCT, which cause phase separation.
Appearance
Pale yellow liquid solution.
Practical tip: Keep the solution stored in a cool, dark environment to maintain stability. Avoid attempting to introduce this ethanolic dilution into oily carriers like IPM or MCT, as separation will occur. A minor cloudiness over time is completely normal due to natural myristic acid waxes.
