Best Iris and Powdery Fragrances

Iris is one of the most noble and costly raw materials in perfumery, derived from the dried rhizome of the Florence iris that must age several years before revealing its secrets. Its powdery, buttery, subtly earthy accord creates fragrances of aristocratic elegance that resists all seasons and fashions. Great houses invest considerable sums in obtaining the finest qualities of irone — the key aldehyde of iris — for their major creations. Our selection brings together the most beautiful olfactive portraits of this exceptional material.
