The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where fresh florals and powdery woods blend into a comforting yet crisp embrace.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Les Cascades de Rochas Songe d’Iris was launched in 2013 and crafted by Jean-Michel Duriez. This Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women opens with a bright citrus-aromatic blend, giving way to a heart of iris and violet that carries the scent through its warm powdery and woody base notes. The composition is both fresh and spicy, creating an aquatic-like freshness that contrasts beautifully against its deeper florals and woods. This interplay between light and depth makes Songe d’Iris a captivating fragrance for those who appreciate layers.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays on pulse points — the citrus top notes are bright but dissipate quickly. The powdery base will settle in and provide warmth throughout the day, making it perfect for an office setting or a casual evening out.
