About
Iris Malikhân by Maison Crivelli is a Aromatic Green fragrance for women and men. Iris Malikhân was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Marc Zini. The fragrance features Orris, Leather, Vanilla, Galbanum, Mastic or Lentisque, Amber, Cypress, Mimosa, Cinnamon, Pink Pepper, Coriander and Blackcurrant Syrup. “The strength of dry sand winds. A bright game of light. Fiery leather. A caress of emerald reflections. Majestic and nearly insolent petals, coming into bloom while facing the elements of Nature.” It is with those words that the brand's founder and owner, Thibaud Crivelli, describes his most striking encounter with iris flowers. A wild, untouched setting where this delicate flower unveiled its most inner strength. The powdery trails of those fragile flowers echoing with verdant, dry, animalic and soft notes. A unique sensorial capture, which gives Iris Malikhân an asserted and contemporary signature."
