The Story

Launched in 2019 by Olfactive Studio, Iris Shot is a floral fragrance for women and men crafted by the renowned perfumer Dominique Ropion. The composition opens with aldehydes and cardamom, creating an initial burst of freshness that contrasts beautifully with the heart's rich iris and almond notes. This is further enhanced by the earthy undertones of carrot seeds and Haitian vetiver, which ground the scent in a warm, woody base. Iris Shot navigates between powdery softness and earthy depth, making it a versatile and engaging choice for any occasion.

Application Tips

Apply Iris Shot lightly — its powdery notes are best experienced close to the skin. The initial burst of freshness fades within an hour, but the warm iris and woody base notes linger for hours, making it perfect for both daytime and evening wear.

Dominique Ropion portrait

Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious.

The story behind the bottle.

The subtle interplay of light and shadow on a crisp autumn afternoon, where the air is filled with the scent of earth and the soft glow of sun-dappled leaves.
