Launched in 2018 by Atelier Cologne, Iris Rebelle is a floral fragrance for both women and men that embodies the essence of rebellion wrapped in powdery sophistication. The composition opens with Calabrian bergamot and black pepper, creating an initial burst of freshness and spiciness that contrasts beautifully against the rich, earthy tones of iris and patchouli. This interplay between bright and dark notes creates a complex profile that is both inviting and intriguing. Iris Rebelle is not just another floral fragrance; it challenges expectations with its bold yet refined character.

Application Tips
Apply Iris Rebelle in a light mist, as the initial fresh spicy notes are quite potent. The earthy base will bloom over time, so layering is unnecessary. This fragrance reads better close to skin than when diffused across a room.

Ralf Schwieger once took part in a perfume contest that Frédéric Malle had staged for young perfumers. Frédéric sampled their perfumes one by one, blindfolded, until he reached Ralph’s sketch of what was to become Lipstick Rose, and Ralf was chosen to join Editions de Parfums. Having spent his childhood in Germany exploring forests and absorbing all of their unusual smells, Ralf is prone to creating perfumes with unexpected personalities. He describes his attitude to perfume making as a game in two parts, whose first is intellectual or conceptual, and whose second is a lengthier one of sensory research. His perfumes, as a result, are both cerebral and intuitive.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet defiance of a well-tailored suit worn to an unconventional event, where the crispness of bergamot and pepper meets the elegance of iris and musk.
