By the editors · 2 min readDespite the name, tuberose does not appear in the declared notes — instead, iris takes the centre, flanked by pink pepper on top and sandalwood plus cashmeran below. Pink pepper opens with a dry, faintly fruity spice before quickly stepping aside.
Iris is the clear focus: cool, powdery, and faintly rooty, with a violet-adjacent quality. Sandalwood warms the base without sweetening it much, and cashmeran — a soft, woody-musky material — gives depth and a slightly cocooning texture.
The result is a cool, iris-forward fragrance with powdery edges and a warm, smooth finish. It wears quietly and suits professional or understated personal contexts well.
