Iris
“Cool, powdery floral with a violet-like softness — elegant, refined, and slightly rooty.”
Iris, from orris root aged for years, smells powdery, cool and elegantly earthy with violet-like sophistication and a distinctive makeup-powder character. It is one of perfumery's most luxurious materials. In perfumery it defines powdery elegance and refined compositions. In Indian winters, iris's cool powderiness is the height of sophistication. In summer, it can feel heavy, so choose lighter interpretations. The aristocrat of powder.
