Base Notes
Amber · Ebony · Musk · Sandalwood · Vanilla · Vetiver
A burst of ylang-ylang, carnation, and bergamot greets the skin with a bright, airy opening that feels both luminous and refined. Palisander rosewood adds a whisper of warmth, while orange brings a gentle sparkle to the composition's first moments—perfect for those seeking a personal fragrance that announces itself softly.
The composition evolves into a beautiful floral heart where aldehydes bloom alongside violet, lily, magnolia, jasmine, and rose. This is where Iris Poudre truly shines: a poised, almost luminescent center that bridges the brightness of the top notes with the depth below. The florals dance together with subtlety, creating an emotional character that feels both timeless and contemporary.
As the fragrance settles, amber, cedarwood, iris, and tonka bean form a creamy, sophisticated base. Musk and sandalwood provide a gentle earthiness, while vanilla and vetiver ground the composition in warmth. Iris Poudre projects as a soft personal halo—noticeable enough to enchant those near you, yet intimate enough to feel like your own secret. Longevity spans 6–8 hours, making it ideal for both day and evening wear.
