Essential Parfums

Velvet Iris

    • Try a sample first! 

      Ode to the velvety petals of the flower, Dominique Ropion delivers a woody, carnal interpretation of the iris. It all begins with a breath of spicy freshness, rising like the majestic stem of the iris: pink pepper and turmeric leaf electrify buchu leaf with aromatic and herbaceous accents. Balanced by the crisp greenness of galbanum and lentisque, the precious iris concrete gradually warms on the skin, revealing more carnal inflections, both creamy and powdery. Sensuality blooms ever so softly, brought to life by the drydown of Velvet Iris: a woven from the milky notes of sandalwood, the warmth of labdanum and the contemporary vibrations of SaffianoTM, an exclusive IFF molecule that combines the power of leather with the softness of suede. A truly languorous experience, Velvet Iris reveals its powerful yet caressingly soft signature when worn. A hypnotic trail, elegant and infinitely carnal.

       

      Notes include buchu, agathosma, tamarind, pink pepper, orris, iris, galbanum, mastic, saffiano leather, sandalwood and labdanum.
