The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Hiris by Hermès, launched in 1999 and crafted by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti, is a floral green fragrance that embodies the sophistication of its French heritage. The composition opens with iris, which immediately sets a regal tone, balanced by the earthy warmth of coriander and carnation. As it evolves, neroli and rose add layers of depth, while amber and vanilla provide a powdery, woody base that feels both familiar and luxurious. This fragrance is a proof of Hermès's commitment to elegance and refinement.

How to wear it

Hiris is best applied sparingly — its powdery base allows it to develop fully on skin over time. One or two sprays are sufficient for the iris and woody accords to bloom, making this fragrance perfect for a day in the office that transitions seamlessly into an evening out.
