orris rhizome absolute replacer

Orris rhizome absolute replacer is a synthetic fragrance material that emulates the olfactory characteristics of orris root absolute. It typically appears as a mobile liquid designed to capture the floral, powdery, and woody violet scent associated with natural orris butter. The compound is notable for its elegant and refined aroma, often used in perfumery for its classic iris facets. Known under various trade names such as Iris Floraline 80 and Irival, it offers an economically viable alternative to the natural extract which can be difficult to source in small quantities. This synthetic replacer is primarily employed as a fragrance agent and is recognized in chemical databases like PubChem for reference and standardization purposes.

This material serves as a substitute for orris root absolute, which is derived from the rhizomes of Iris species. Its application lies predominantly in high-end fragrance formulations where a floral-orris note with powdery and woody violet nuances is desired. Typical product categories include perfumes and personal care scents focusing on complex floral bouquets. The replacer is designed to be diffusive and cost-effective while maintaining scent fidelity. According to IFRA (Global) standards, recommended usage levels in fragrance concentrates are up to 2.0%, restricting its application to fragrance agents rather than flavoring substances. This supports formulation safety and compliance within the fragrance industry.

Orris rhizome absolute replacer exhibits a specific gravity ranging from approximately 0.912 to 0.924 at 25 °C, indicating moderate density consistent with liquid fragrance raw materials. Its refractive index lies between 1.458 and 1.47 at 20 °C, a typical range for aromatic organic liquids. The material is soluble in alcohol, facilitating its incorporation into ethanol-based perfume bases, while it remains insoluble in water, affecting formulation strategies where aqueous solubility is a consideration. Such physical and chemical properties influence handling, blending, and stability profiles in fragrance creations, emphasizing the importance of solvent compatibility and appropriate concentration usage.
