Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Date

Its clean, refined iris profile and moderate sillage make it ideal for office wear, often mentioned by reviewers as a signature office scent. It's versatile enough for casual and formal daytime events, but its understated nature means it's not the best choice for a lively date or sports.

About

Acqua di Iris opens with a crisp, slightly spicy burst from bergamot and violet leaf, setting a refined and fresh tone. The heart quickly unfolds into a clean, delicate iris, avoiding the overly powdery or sweet pitfalls of some iris-centric scents. It settles into a smooth, elegant base of woody notes and musk, with a touch of labdanum adding a subtle masculine depth, leaving a polished and enduring trail.
