The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Loewe, Iris Root is crafted by perfumer Nuria Cruelles as an ode to the earthy and powdery nuances of iris. The composition opens with a fresh spicy note from timur, which transitions into the rich, woody scent of orris root and angelica, before settling into a base of earthy and powdery accords. This fragrance is neither conventionally floral nor overtly musky; it occupies a subtle yet distinct space that feels both familiar and refined.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Iris Root. The fresh spicy top notes are fleeting but impactful, so it’s best applied a few minutes before leaving home for maximum impact. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.
