LMR Naturals by IFF: Orris France

LMR Naturals’ Orris is sourced through one of our vertically integrated sourcing platforms located in the south of France. Thanks to our long-term partnership with local farmers, we have direct access to the vegetal, allowing us to improve the orris quality and its yield. The orris rhizomes need to spend about three years underground from plantation to harvest to develop the precious irones precursors, followed by three years of drying to turn the precursors into irones, the powerful scent molecules sought by perfumers. Our scientists developed a natural innovative method to decrease the drying stage from three to one year, allowing a significant reduction to cost: An important aspect since orris is more expensive than gold. Our orris, presented by Delphine Lebeau, Senior Perfumer at IFF, is an iconic fragrance ingredient with floral, powdery dimension, slightly wood aspect and delicate with a cloud-like cotton softness. LMR Orris is For Life certified.
