The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 by Guerlain and crafted by Thierry Wasser, Iris Ganache is a powdery woody fragrance that encapsulates the essence of warmth and comfort. The composition opens with the bright freshness of bergamot before giving way to the rich, velvety notes of white chocolate and cinnamon. At its heart lies iris, which adds a sophisticated depth to the scent, balanced by soft florals like violet. A warm base of patchouli, cedar, vanilla, amber, and white musk creates a cocoon-like embrace that lingers on the skin.
Apply this fragrance sparingly to allow its powdery and woody accords to develop fully on your skin. It’s best worn close to the body rather than sprayed liberally in the air, as it reads more intimately up close.
