Launched in 2018 by Frederic Malle and crafted by Pierre Bourdon, Iris Poudree Limited Edition 2018 is a floral aldehyde fragrance that captures the essence of refined elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from bergamot and orange, which give way to a heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and violet, creating an atmosphere of delicate florality. At its core, iris and sandalwood blend with powdery aldehydes and musk, resulting in a warm and enveloping scent that feels both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply a few sprays to pulse points — the aldehydic top notes are bright but fade quickly, while the heart and base notes develop slowly. The fragrance is best worn close to skin for an intimate experience rather than filling a room.
Pierre Bourdon
Founding perfumer · 36 fragrances
As Edmond Roudnitska’s only student, Pierre Bourdon was informed early on by the philosophy that perfumes should be created as works of art. With this in mind, Pierre went on to revolutionize perfume trends in the 1980s with his men’s perfume “Cool Water” for Davidoff. That was when he met Frédéric Malle. Having realized that they shared the same vision of perfume making, the two became like family to one another. It was obvious to Frédéric, when he created Editions de Parfums, that Pierre should compose its first perfume, Iris Poudre.
