Crabtree & Evelyn Iris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Iris opens with Bergamot and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Iris and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Crabtree & Evelyn's Iris carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a lovely iris; soft, earthy, and quite woody. It's safe, versatile, and generally uplifting, though some find it a bit too subtle or even bland if you're after a full-throttle iris experience.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate projection and generally soft, clean accords make it highly suitable for office and casual wear, where it won't offend. The lack of strong sillage or 'sexy' notes means it's less ideal for dates or high-impact formal events, but its elegance can still make it a good understated choice.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Iris opens with a subtle tartness from redcurrant leaf and bergamot, quickly softening into a powdery, earthy heart of iris and orris. The drydown unveils a sturdy base of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, wrapped in a clean musk and cedar. It's a gentle, refined scent that evokes soft purple hues and a comforting, natural feel.
