Infusion d'Iris

Notes

Top notes

• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
• Neroli Honeyed, fresh and a little bitter: orange blossom with a clean, citrus-edged sparkle.
• Galbanum Intensely green, bitter and resinous, like crushed stems and sap.

Heart notes

• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.

Base notes

• Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
• Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
• Incense Dry, smoky and resinous, like smoke curling through a stone chapel.
• Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
