The iris scent is powdery, floral, and elegantly woody, capturing the sophisticated essence of orris root (derived from iris rhizomes). Its luxurious and velvety profile makes it a prized ingredient in high-end and timeless fragrances.
Orris root’s fragrance is recreated using molecules like irone and ionones, which give it its signature powdery, buttery richness with a hint of violet. Iris is typically used in heart or base accords, enhancing floral, musky, or woody blends with its refined charm.
Compared to other powdery florals like heliotrope or violet, iris is earthier and more sophisticated, with a creamy, slightly rooty nuance. Perfect for candles, diffusers, and body care products, the iris scent brings an air of luxury and elegance to your creations.
Listed below are all the fragrance oils in our collection which utilize iris in their scent make up.
