The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010 by Donna Karan, Iris is a fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of elegance and restraint. The composition opens with a bright floral accord centered around Iris and rose, giving way to a powdery heart that softens the edges without overpowering the subtle earthy and woody base notes. This balance creates a scent that feels both lasting and modern, perfectly encapsulating Donna Karan's approach to fashion — simple yet impactful pieces designed for versatility.
Apply two sprays for optimal effect — the floral opening is bright but fades within a couple of hours, leaving the powdery and woody base notes to linger. This fragrance works well during cooler weather when its warmth adds a comforting layer to your day.
