Iris

Iris is a soft, powdery, and elegant note with slightly woody, creamy, and violet-like nuances. It brings a refined and luxurious character to fragrances, often used in heart and base notes to create a smooth, velvety, and sophisticated effect.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

Iris has been associated with royalty, elegance, and nobility for centuries. It was used in historical perfumery and cosmetics, especially in Europe, and remains a symbol of luxury and refinement in modern fragrance creation.
