Expert Verdict

Low-risk hydrosol; trace levels of fragrant compounds (irones); standard preservation requirements for aqueous botanicals. Hydrosol from the rhizomes of Iris germanica (German Iris, without the "florentina" variety designation). Differs subtly from the florentina variety in aromatic profile; German Iris root tends to have a slightly greener, less purely powdery scent compared to the Florentine variety.
