By the editors · 2 min readOrris and fig pair in the heart with no traditional opening — the iris dry, rooty, and slightly carrot-like, the fig green-milky and slightly fruity. The combination reads cool and powdery from the start, with the fig's lactonic edge softening the orris's austerity.
Tonka bean settles underneath, sweet and slightly almondy, lending a hay-like warmth that bridges the iris and fig into something more comforting. Heliotrope in the base extends the powder with its almond-vanilla-cherry signature, reinforcing the gourmand-floral pull. The drydown holds an iris-almond-heliotrope accord for hours, slightly waxy, slightly milky. Distinctive among fruity-florals — quieter, more powdery, with a strange green undertow that keeps it from going syrupy.
