Jadis employé en médecine, l'iris est, par son rhizome, une plante à parfum. On cultive à cette fin I. pallida ou iris de Florence, en Italie [...]. L'huile essentielle obtenue à partir du rhizome est souvent appelée «beurre d'iris» parce que les acides gras supérieurs qu'elle contient lui donnent l'apparence d'un beurre. Après élimination des acides, on obtient l'absolue d'iris. Les deux produits sont utilisés en parfumerie. 2, record 1, French, - huile%20d%27iris
