The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1901 by Santa Maria Novella, Iris is a lasting floral fragrance that captures the essence of delicate powdery and earthy notes. The composition opens with a bright yet subtle Iris, which seamlessly transitions into a heart of violet and woody undertones. This blend creates an intricate balance between freshness and warmth, making it a classic choice for those who appreciate understated elegance.
For optimal effect, apply Iris to your pulse points. The powdery and floral notes develop slowly on the skin, so it's best used in cooler settings to enhance its warmth without overpowering. One or two sprays will suffice as this fragrance has a long-lasting quality that gradually unfolds throughout the day.
