By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot open tart and bright, with iris immediately pushing through — that cool, dry, slightly carrot-rooty powder that signals a serious iris composition. Ylang adds creamy lift; rose threads structure.
The heart deepens iris's powder, with mimosa contributing honeyed yellow-floral softness and rose grounding the bouquet. The composition turns dry and slightly chilly in the middle, then warms into the base as tonka, vanilla, and amber arrive — a slow gradient from cool powder to soft sweet woods.
Overall: an iris-rose-vanilla with mimosa warmth and citrus lift, refined and dressy. Three-season versatility, daytime to evening. Moderate projection. The dry-down is a powdery-sweet floral-amber that retains iris's signature throughout, lingering for hours.
