By the 17th century, Orris roots were pulverized into a highly prized hair powder for royalty, creating the fabled poudre de violette and pomatums, essential cosmetics for the courts of Europe. Orris remains one of the more exclusive and expensive ingredients in perfumery, as the root yields little oil: it takes over 30 kilograms of raw, aged Orris roots to create a single kilogram of …
