Catalog › Floral › Orris Root CO2 Extract (Iris pallida)
Supercritical extract of aged Iris pallida rhizomes: irone-forward violet-orris with a berry-fruity lift, soft dry woods and the waxy myristic body the rhizome always carries. Pourable where the butter is a solid mass, so it is the practical way to get real orris into a formula, but grades run from about 1 to 15 percent irones: check the assay before you dose. Used at fractions of a percent in violet, powdery and cosmetic accords.
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 Root CO2 Extract (Iris pallida), 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.
