By the editors · 2 min readWithout a stated top the perfume opens into its iris heart immediately. Iris arrives in its rooty, cool, slightly carrot-tinged form rather than the powdery cosmetic version, sitting alone and unhurried for the long middle.
There is no other floral or fruit material to distract from the iris. The development is essentially a slow shift in the iris's facets as it warms on skin, growing slightly more powdery with time.
The base is restrained. Ambergris adds a salty mineral warmth with a faint animalic edge, vetiver contributes dry rooty earth, and musk closes the structure. Overall the character is a focused masculine iris study, cool and slightly melancholy, with moderate projection and a long quiet skin-close drydown that feels contemplative.
