Iris d'Or
Fragrance notes
Character
Iris d'Or opens with a crushed green snap from violet leaf that feels like stepping into a damp garden path at twilight. Cassis adds a cool, dark berry shimmer that keeps the entrance from leaning too heavy. The iris itself is plush and rooty, supported by a thick smear of beeswax that gives the air a golden, slightly sticky texture. Fenugreek brings a curious maple-like warmth that sits close to the skin, while carrot seeds offer a dry, earthy edge that prevents the wax from becoming too sweet.
Composed by David Magalhães, this is a fragrance for evenings when the air turns crisp and the streetlights reflect off wet pavement. The base is a dense weave of benzoin, tolu balsam, and vanilla that feels like wrapping a heavy scarf around your neck before heading out into the cold. Texas and Virginia cedar provide a dry, lumberyard foundation that anchors the powdery florals. It suits someone who enjoys smelling like an antique wooden chest filled with expensive textiles. Those who prefer clean, soapy scents or sharp citrus should look elsewhere, as this retains a resinous, honeyed weight. The closing impression is a deep, balsamic amber.
