Powdery aroma with earthy and woody green nuances. Resembles the scent of violet.

How the iris aroma is obtained:

The aromatic essence is obtained from the iris rhizomes hidden in the ground – not from the blossoms. The rhizomes have to be left to dry for several years, and once they’re ready, they’re steamed to distil the so-called iris butter. The scent of iris can also be created synthetically, but luxury fragrances mostly use the natural extract. The velvety elegant scent of iris combines beautifully with other floral, herbal and woody notes and makes them more intense. Find your perfect iris fragrance today!
