Velvet Iris

Eau de Parfum

« I imagined this iris as a velvet against the skin. Pink pepper and buchu make it vibrate, galbanum gives it its greenness, then creamy, amber woods embrace it. Velvet Iris is that carnal caress you keep close to you. »

Velvet Iris by Essential Parfums, eau de parfum

Velvet Iris

Velvet Iris, a floral, woody eau de parfum by Essential Parfums, drapes iris in a carnal velvet imagined by Dominique Ropion.

An ode to the flower's velvety petals, Dominique Ropion delivers a floral, woody interpretation of iris. It all begins with a breath of spicy freshness: pink pepper and turmeric leaf electrify buchu, with its aromatic, herbaceous accents. Counterbalanced by the crisp greenness of galbanum and mastic, the precious iris concrete warms on the skin and reveals more carnal inflections, at once creamy and powdery. Sensuality unfolds, carried by a suede accord, the resinous warmth of labdanum and the creamy embrace of woods. A hypnotic sillage, elegant and infinitely carnal.

Created by Dominique Ropion, this iris is worn like velvet against the skin: pink pepper and buchu make it vibrate, galbanum lends it greenness, then a suede accord and creamy woods embrace it in a carnal caress you keep close.
