Iris
Fragrance notes
Character
Iris opens with a bright flash of tangerine that quickly gives way to the cool, rooty presence of its namesake flower. Pink pepper adds a sharp lift that keeps the initial impression from feeling too soft, while saffron lends a dry, slightly metallic edge to the opening minutes. The iris here feels dusty and refined rather than watery or fresh.
Vanilla and myrrh form the center of the heart, creating a resinous warmth that wraps around the violet leaf. Black pepper provides a subtle bite that prevents the middle from becoming overly rounded. The vanilla does not dominate the blend but instead supports the powdery florals, allowing the violet to sit comfortably alongside the spice.
Tobacco and leather anchor the composition with a familiar weight, though they never overwhelm the air around the wearer. Opoponax and benzoin deepen the resinous quality, while honey adds a golden thickness that lingers on the skin for a reasonable span. The scent stays near the body, moving with you through a sunlit morning walk or a bright afternoon in the city.
Honey and tobacco carry the drydown forward, leaving a sweet and earthy impression that feels complete. The amber and leather accords remain steady until the very end.
