Bois d'Iris by Van Cleef & Arpels was launched in 2009 as part of the brand's luxurious Haute Couture perfume collection, which includes six fragrances created with high-quality raw materials. This particular scent is crafted by perfumer Émilie Coppermann and features a distinctive blend of iris, vetiver, ambergris, and salt. The composition opens with a hint of salt that introduces an earthy freshness before the rich, powdery notes of iris take center stage. Vetiver adds a woody warmth to the base, while ambergris lends an animalic depth that grounds the fragrance.

Application Tips
Bois d'Iris has a long-lasting base that blooms gradually over time. Apply it lightly to pulse points and let it develop naturally on your skin. It reads best close to the skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for intimate moments or quiet confidence.
