By the editors · 2 min readIrresistible Iris opens with cardamom — warm, gently spiced, bridging well into the iris-heavy heart to come. The spice is mild and supporting rather than leading.
Orris and vetiver in the heart are the structural core. Orris is rooty and earthy with its characteristic cool powder; vetiver adds a dry, smoky depth. Labdanum brings a resinous, slightly animalic warmth that grounds the orris-vetiver tension.
Tonka bean, sandalwood, vanilla, and patchouli in the base build warmth and creaminess. The orris-patchouli-vetiver combination creates an earthy, textural drydown. This is a serious iris fragrance — earthy and complex, not simply powdery-sweet. Well-suited to those who want iris done with depth.
