Note Profile
A Symrise captive that gives an iris effect, described by its maker as iris-scented and velvety.
Diviniris smells of iris, a powdery effect rather than the full cosmetic density of orris root. A soft, flowery touch runs through it, gentle rather than heavy. It has a velvety, creamy-wood texture, with only a faint clean musk underneath.
Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.

Diviniris is a captive, meaning a material its maker keeps for its own perfumers rather than selling on the open market. Symrise introduced it and describes it in its own 2021 Group Management Report, in one sentence: 'Diviniris is an iris-scented captive with velvety notes.' That report names it alongside Flowerpool, a white-blossom captive, as new that year. No supplier technical sheet, odour profile, GC breakdown or usage rate was found. The term is attested in 5 Fragrantica perfumes and 1 Parfumo entry.
Used where a composition needs the iris impression without the cost or the earthy weight of orris butter. The one reviewer description found puts it as the soft counterweight to a salty driftwood accord, which is the job: a soft, powdery floral cushion that other materials sit on.
