Discover the captivating aroma of CELESTIAL® Orris Absolute Essential Oil, a luxurious and rare oil extracted from the roots of the Iris germanica plant. Known for its rich, powdery, and floral scent with subtle woody undertones, Orris Absolute is highly prized in the world of natural perfumery and aromatherapy.

Our Orris Absolute is carefully sourced and crafted to ensure a premium quality oil with a beautifully complex fragrance profile. It is an exceptional ingredient for creating high-end perfumes, cosmetic formulations, and natural skincare products. A little goes a long way, making it a favourite among artisan perfumers and fragrance enthusiasts.

Normally Orris oil is a brown viscous liquid and is also known as Orris butter or Orris concrete. (We carry both types) This oil has been put through a further hexane free purifying distillation process creating a thinner absolute oil which has more concentrated irones. The more concentrated the irones the more powerful the notes will be.

Orris oil possesses a woody and violet like aroma with an undertone sweet floral fragrance. It is often used as blends in violet type perfume bases. 

Common Uses:

Topical Application Information:

This essential oil is pure and undiluted, so if you wish to use it on your skin it will have to be diluted first. The general guide to using essential oils on your skin is that they should be diluted to a maximum of 3-5% in a carrier oil. 

Essential Oil Safety:

Always dilute essential oils before applying them to your skin as when undiluted they may cause skin irritations. It is always a good idea to do a small patch test somewhere like the back of your hand when using a new essential oil for the first time. 
DO NOT ingest essential oils. It is against the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) Guidelines to suggest ingestion of essential oils in Australia. This is due to safety concerns around the harm an undiluted and highly concentrated essential oil can do when ingested. There are very few exceptions to this, which include a small number of essential oils allowed to be used in the food manufacturing industry in highly diluted amounts for flavouring and scent (such as Lavender and Peppermint), or when under the care of a qualified Naturopath or Aromatic Medicine Practitioner (holds recognised qualifications, and is a member of a Professional Association granting TGA exemptions).
It is always best to avoid using essential oils on or around your pets. Dogs process most essential oils similar to how humans do, and will usually not be bothered by most essential oils being diffused in a well ventilated space. Many dog shampoos and conditioners also contain essential oils. However we recommend you never leave a dog unsupervised in a room with an essential oil diffuser on. Cats do not tolerate essential oils and small amounts may be harmful, even using a diffuser in the same room may cause toxicity.
