The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Santa Maria Novella, L'Iris is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by Gian-Luca Perris. The composition opens with the fresh spicy notes of Sichuan pepper and neroli, which create an invigorating contrast to the heart's rich floral bouquet of jasmine, magnolia, and geranium. At its core, iris and violet blend seamlessly into a powdery musky base that is warm and enveloping without overpowering.
L'Iris captures the essence of Italian elegance with its balance of freshness and depth. The fragrance is designed to evoke a sense of lasting sophistication, reflecting the heritage of Santa Maria Novella while embracing modernity.
Apply L'Iris to your pulse points for a gentle warmth that builds throughout the day. The fresh spicy top notes fade within two hours, but the powdery base lingers longer. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than filling a room.
