If you want to know the smell of true wealth, smell Orris Butter. Extracted from the rhizomes (roots) of the Iris flower (Iris pallida), it is widely considered the most expensive perfumery material on earth—often costing three times the price of gold.
Triefta Aroma Nusantara deals in this rarefied material for our ultra-luxury clients. It is the definition of "Powdery Elegance."
The 6-Year Wait Why the astronomical price?
- Growth: The plant grows for 3 years.
- Drying: Once harvested, the roots have no smell. They must be peeled and dried in the dark for another 3 years.
- The Alchemy: During this aging, the precursors oxidize into Ironemolecules. Only then does the violet-like scent appear.
- Yield: It takes tons of aged root to produce grams of the waxy "butter."
The Scent of "Makeup" and "Skin" Orris smells like luxury lipstick, soft skin, violets, and cold carrots. It is cool, dry, and incredibly tenacious.
- Use Case: It is the backbone of "Skin Scents" and high-end cosmetics. Adding even a microscopic amount (0.01%) to a face cream fragrance transforms it from "drugstore" to "designer."
Iron Content Matters The quality is measured by the percentage of Ironemolecules (15% vs 8%). Triefta supplies the high-Irone grade, ensuring that signature powdery projection that defines masterpieces like Chanel No. 19 or Dior Homme.
Conclusion Orris is not for everyone. It is for the 1%. It represents the ultimate luxury: Time. When you formulate with Triefta’s Orris, you are bottling six years of patience.
