Orris / Iris

Orris Resinoid Extra LA 3929

Original designation: Iris RDE Extra LA 3929

Iris spp.

An extra-grade orris resinoid evokes iris in full chiaroscuro, powdered violet light over a deep, earthy root and cream-wood base. Its value in composition is structural: it makes disparate notes feel dressed in the same elegant fabric.

Extraction & expression

A resinoid is generally obtained by solvent extraction of dry botanical matter, gums, balsams or resins. It emphasises the low, enveloping register: balsamic warmth, texture and slow diffusion.

Technology recorded for this material

  • Alcohol washing dissolves the aromatic fraction in ethanol, then uses chilling and filtration to separate waxes and heavier insolubles. This is a defining route from many concretes or resinoids to absolutes.

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