The story behind the bottle.
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.
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.
