Velvet Iris

A green, woody orris draped in carnal sensuality from Master Perfumer Dominique Ropion, aka "The Master of Flowers." From Essential Parfums 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 earthy and woody facets of the iris are underlined by the bright opening notes before revealing more carnal inflections, both creamy and powdery, as the precious iris concrete gradually warms on the skin. Sensuality blooms ever so softly in the drydown of Velvet Iris, 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. From Perfumer Dominique Ropion "I imagined a woody iris as an ode to the flower's velvety petals. Pulsing with the suave radiance of pink pepper and buchu, it unfolds its green facets, infused with galbanum. Ambered and creamy woods embrace it in an infinitely carnal skin-to-skin caress."
