May Flowers: Fleur de Brand
On the tenth day of our tour please stroll over to Artist As Brand where Master Gregorio reveals the emblem that blossomed from a European flower.
In botanical perfumery the root from a sibling of this flower adds a beautiful violet note and fixation to fine perfume. The rare and expensive raw material I am alluding to is the exquisite and heavenly Beurre d'Iris known as Orris Root.
