Orris Resinoid (22% Irones)
Adam Michael has this to say “With a 22% irones content, green violet warmth galore and a heavenly melody of classic orris rooty and floral character, I can say without any doubt this is the finest iris material I have ever experienced to date (12/3/16). The grower and producer of this material sells directly to a handful of what he considers to be Europe’s elite core of perfumers and so far we are the only retailer of this material which I regard as a true honour. I am completely in love with this material and at a 20% dilution and applied to my skin I am inhaling violet leaves, floral sweetness, dry muskiness, cocoa chocolate, woody facets, finishing with faint dry tobacco nuances.
Used in most areas of perfume, especially useful of course for orris/iris and violet themed compositions, very useful within cedrol orientated woody bases, improves and elevates aldehydic and fruity lactone notes and pairs fantastically well with exotic floral absolutes such as pink lotus, boronia and tiare.
Obtained from the rhizomes by multiple solvent extraction for optimal aromatic results, fully ethanol soluble, brownish in colour and of a solid treacle paste consistency.”

This gem needs alchohol to dilute it and experience a masterpiece but with more green violet scent..you get the sweet roots and the warm ambery creamy heaven..exceptional quality..hope it will never be out of stock!

The price… worth every penny, here a little really goes a long way. I was trying to pair it with Frankincense to get a balanced smell – the ratio was about 10% of Orris, which later stayed on the strip hours after the resin was gone. It is beautifully rounded and powdery, oh so elegant and refined with hints of violets in the dry-down… Almost like a ‘photoshop’ it softens the edges and balances the composition. A wonderful material, though I haven’t tried any other orrises from Hermitage I think they will deliver just as well though maybe in slightly larger percentage.

I love this stuff so much that I sometimes just slather some on my skin and then use some Mysore sandalwood to spread it evenly on my skin. Hauntingly beautiful stuff.
– Slightly musky, lactonic
– Woody: reminds me of pencil shavings (i.e., cedarwood). So good for
– It is cold and warm at the same time. The colder (read sharper) facets are more frequent initially. Then becomes warmer (read resinous and ambery with a gentler sweet facet). But the colder ones never go away, which makes it a very serious smell on it’s own. If I had lots of money I would just wear with Mysore at 1:1 ratio!
– It also has the following facets – violet leaf (initially), powdery (throughout), paper/book that haven’t been opened for a while, fresh clean human skin.
– The possibilities are endless. But I really enjoyed it’s use with less barnyard ouds, sandalwood, white florals, woods, resins, especially with labdanum, and myrrh and benzoin.

Like other people who have commented, we recommend with all our heart, the perfect component of a larger composition! High quality, you won’t be disappointed! I am a huge fan of iris and orris root and I can’t stop smelling it 🙂 Perfect add on to my signature perfumes.

Have you ever tried Mu-u-u fudge candies ? Do not laugh but it reminds me of them and i’m not joking – childhood memories recalling candies made from milk, vanilla and sugar – and who can resist ;)))).
Anyway apart from those memories this orris butter resinoid (that i have diluted al 30% in IPM) is sweet floral violet leaves paradise !
It’s baby powdery – so delicate and soft.
It’s cocoa butter, dried blueberries – i could literally eat it from an ice cream bowl 😉
As it continues its dry down on a blotter i can perceive some dried herbs, soapy, buttery and of course lactonic notes with slight orange blossom undertones – yes, yes, yes.
It is a Beauty within a Beauty – no more words needed – it is a Must in my organ – a perfume on its own.
True masterpiece ! 🙂

This is wonderful, slightly like a baby powdered raspberry scent, soft and sweet.

Love this, smells delightful on my skin, reminds me of masculine skin, powdery floral, earthy, mitti attar a touch amber. I keep going back to it especially when my husband goes away for work and miss him and his bear hugs. I so wish I’d ordered more as such a delight and having to carefully ration this absolute treasure.

Orris is such a chameleon, with wild differences from one material to the next. This is by far the most beautiful, poetic one I’ve encountered, a creation on its own.
Not at all the powdery or green kind, its irone content gives it a central violet flower/raspberry aspect whose sweetness is balanced by greener dewy violet leaf accents, all dancing around a gourmand chocolatey/ foundation, some white muskiness. An exquisite beauty !
