Essential Parfums Velvet Iris

This is an ode dedicated to the petals of iris—an intoxicating, seductive scent.

The fragrance opens with fresh and spicy notes, rising like the stem of the iris. Pink pepper and turmeric bring a vibrant touch to the green-fruity buchu leaves. The green hue of galbanum is well-balanced, while the iris slowly warms on the skin, revealing its alluring, creamy, and powdery tone. In the dry-down, the composition is woven from milky sandalwood notes, warm labdanum, and the synthetic molecule “Saffiano,” with soft suede-like facets.

The perfumer behind the creation is the legendary Dominique Ropion.
