By the editors · 2 min readBouquet de l'Empereur Napoléon III opens directly into the heart — iris and rose with no citrus or aromatic top structure. The iris is immediately present: cool, rooty, and gently powdery.
Rose provides floral warmth alongside the iris, softening what could otherwise be an austere opening. The two notes balance well — iris's cool mineralic powder meeting rose's warmer, rounded character.
Sandalwood, cedar, and musk in the base extend the composition with a clean woody foundation. The musk keeps the finish from becoming too dry or stiff. This is a clean, unfussy, iris-rose fragrance — classically inspired, elegant without ornamentation.
