Fragrance note
Iris
Iris is the note that reads as expensive without announcing itself. Cool, powdery, faintly earthy — it is the backbone of a lot of quiet luxury perfumery and almost never shouts.
What iris is
Distilled from orris root, the rhizome of the iris, which must be dried for three to five years before it can be processed. That wait is why iris is among the costliest materials in use.
