Catalog › Floral › Orris Butter (Iris germanica)
Waxy rhizome butter from Iris germanica rather than the classic pallida: alpha-irone dominant, so warmer, fleshier and more immediately powdery, with a dank rooty-earthy undertow under the usual carroty-fatty body. Sold side by side with pallida butter and chosen when an iris accord needs soil and weight instead of pallida's drier, more austere elegance.
An estimated breakdown, not a certificate of analysis, and it is what PerfuMate sums when it checks a formula: a molecule arriving from three naturals at once is counted once rather than missed three times. Paste your own supplier analysis and it takes over.

Ranked by how many olfactive sub-categories they share with Orris Butter (Iris germanica), not alphabetically.
What this page carries, beside what the whole catalog carries. Every figure on the right is counted from the file the app ships, at the moment this page was built, so it cannot drift from the product the way a sentence somebody typed would.
And the limits, because they decide how far the rest can be trusted. Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 428 materials carrying no CAS number the 127 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
