Orris / Iris

Orris Resinoid Absolute on Residue after Purification, Italy

Original designation: Iris RDE ABS Sur Residu après épure, Italie

Iris spp.

A residue-derived orris material belongs to the darker underside of iris: drier, rootier and more textural than a polished high-irone concrete. Its fascination lies in the shadow it can cast beneath powder, woods and leather, not in an assumed equivalence to purified orris.

Extraction & expression

Fractionation isolates a particular register of a larger material. Heads and terpene cuts tend toward lift; hearts focus the central identity; body and bottom cuts gather weight, shadow and less-volatile depth. Purification aims for a more focused, polished expression of the parent material. A residue is the remaining, lower-volatility register after another separation, valuable for shadow, texture and unusual weight.

Technology recorded for this material

  • Purification records an additional separation step intended to remove selected non-aromatic or unwanted constituents; the exact lot procedure remains specific to its producer.

These process marks describe selective transformation. They can support a premium grade, but do not alone certify present condition, purity or universal superiority.
