Orris Root Powder 100g

Orris Root Powder is a fragrant and versatile botanical prized for its gentle floral scent, reminiscent of violets. Commonly used as a natural fixative in perfumery and potpourri, it helps preserve and enhance the aromas of other botanicals, making it a popular ingredient in homemade beauty and craft products.

Its soft, powdery texture and natural fragrance also make it ideal for use in body powders, sachets, incense, and cosmetic formulations. Just a small amount can bring a luxurious floral note to soaps, bath blends, and even natural deodorants or hair treatments.

Beyond its aromatic uses, orris root has a long history in traditional European herbalism, sometimes added to tooth powders or herbal infusions for its freshening qualities. Whether you're crafting personal care products or exploring botanical perfumery, Orris Root Powder offers a delicate, time-honoured touch.

Orris Root Powder is also a key botanical in the production of gin, prized for its ability to bind and enhance other flavours. Often used in small quantities, it acts as a fixative that helps stabilise the aromatic profile of the spirit, allowing delicate top notes - like citrus and floral botanicals - to linger on the palate. Its subtle, woody-floral undertone adds depth and complexity, making it a valued ingredient in both traditional and modern gin recipes.
