Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Iris
Iris, derived from the root of the Iris pallida plant, is an emblematic note that evokes both floral softness and woody depth. Its scent is complex, with hints of violet-like sweetness and a subtle damp earthiness that adds a sense of mystery to any blend.
African Orange Flower
African Orange Flower, or Neroli, exudes a light, sweet scent with hints of orange blossom and a subtle green undertone. This essence comes from the blossoms of bitter orange trees, known for their ability to lift spirits and add depth to perfumes without overpowering them.
Orris
Orris is the refined scent extracted from the root of the Florentine iris. Its aroma is both earthy and sweet, with a distinct powdery quality that evokes old-fashioned talcum powder. This rare ingredient adds depth and complexity to compositions, grounding them with its rich, velvety texture.
