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.
