The note of Orris, specifically Orris Butter, is a profound and multifaceted olfactory experience. It presents as a dry, cool, and exquisitely powdery aroma, often described as having a starchy, rooty, and slightly earthy quality, reminiscent of freshly dug earth or a cool, damp cellar. There's an inherent elegance and a subtle, almost metallic or mineralic facet that lends it a unique crispness. Its most celebrated characteristic is its delicate, ethereal violet-like nuance, which is not overtly floral but rather a soft, almost melancholic whisper of violet petals. It possesses a remarkable tenacity, evolving slowly on the skin, starting with a slightly more pronounced rootiness and settling into a creamy, almost buttery powder that feels incredibly smooth and luxurious. Its projection is often intimate, a sophisticated skin scent that whispers rather than shouts, yet its longevity is exceptional, anchoring compositions for many hours, acting as a sublime fixative.
