Other names: Dalmatian toffee, Sweet toffee
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Iris pallida, also known as Dalmatian iris or Sweet iris, is a highly prized plant that is very popular for its distinctive appearance and intense fragrance. It is native to the Messinian coast of the eastern Mediterranean, specifically the Dalmatia region, which is where one of its English names comes from. The typical iris is the pale iris, which can grow up to one metre high. It has bluish-grey, sword-shaped leaves and large flowers that are coloured in pale pinkish or shades of pale purple. It flowers mainly in May and June.
The main industrial importance of the pale iris is its use in perfumery. Its roots, also known as rhizomes, contain an oil that is used in the production of luxury perfumes for its lasting and distinctive scent. Also significant is the use of iris in perfumery for the production of powders and soaps. In addition to perfumery, iris extract is also used in medicine and aromatherapy for its unique relaxing and calming effects. It is therefore no coincidence that the Pale Iris is often referred to as the "king of fragrances".
