Launched in 2004 by Givenchy and crafted by perfumer Dominique Ropion, Ysatis Iris is a floral fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of French elegance and understated sophistication. The composition opens with black currant and violet, creating an initial burst of freshness before settling into a heart of tuberose, rose, jasmine, and iris. These notes combine to form a rich blend of white florals and powdery earthiness, anchored by vanilla and patchouli that provide warmth and depth.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient — the black currant and violet top notes fade quickly but leave behind a lasting impression of rich floral warmth. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room, making it ideal for an office setting or a quiet evening at home.

Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious.
