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.

Application Tips
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.

“Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images.”
Olivia Giacobetti has an uncanny ability to creat an atmosphere. Having completed her training at Robertet, she founded her own perfume laboratory, Iska, and dedicated her career to doing that. She is the brains and the nose behind the fig accords that have been in home scents for years. The perfumes that move her most are "Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images." Her compostions capture the authenticity of a single moment. They are, other words, odes to transience.
