Iris Rose
A layered composition that opens on a cool wash of violet leaf, lemon, iris, bergamot and rose — the iris and violet keep the citrus and rose from feeling bright, lending an almost watercolour stillness.

By the editors · 2 min readA layered composition that opens on a cool wash of violet leaf, lemon, iris, bergamot and rose — the iris and violet keep the citrus and rose from feeling bright, lending an almost watercolour stillness.
The heart drifts into ylang, heliotrope and may rose, the heliotrope's almond-cherry powder pulling the floral toward a powdered, slightly retro warmth. The mid feels lush and dense, where flower and almond start to blur.
The base is unusually deep for a floral: leather, oud, oakmoss, birch and labdanum lay down a smoky, animalic floor, with vanilla, tonka and patchouli softening the close. Overall the impression is a powdered iris-rose pinned over a smoky leather — old-school in temperament, atmospheric, persistent, and quietly serious.
