A silky, salty iris with solar sparkles of jasmine and violet.

The iris is a plant that is very common in the northern hemisphere. Formerly grown in in the vineyards of Florence, it is now cultivated in Central Europe and Morocco. Its flowers are fair but unscented so it is from their rhizomes that the famous “orris butter” is extracted. It can take from 6 to 12 years of ageing for them to develop their characteristic metallic, floral or chocolate scent, which is what makes the iris so valuable in perfumery and turns our Iris into a creamy, cosmetic and powdery composition.
