Givenchy Ysatis Iris is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Dominique Ropion. Ysatis Iris opens with Mandarin, Violet, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Iris, and Vanilla. Givenchy's Ysatis Iris carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just an iris perfume; it's a masterpiece that some will adore and others will find challenging. Expect a rich, powdery, and deeply floral experience that feels both classic and surprisingly modern. It's divisive but those who love it, really love it.

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.

Also Works:

Given its strong projection and excellent longevity, Ysatis Iris is best suited for evening wear or special occasions where it can truly shine. While it has an elegant modern edge, its richness might be too much for a casual setting or the office, though a light hand could make it work.

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.

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

Opens with a luscious burst of juicy blackcurrant and bright mandarin, quickly giving way to a rich floral heart. Powdery iris takes centre stage, flanked by a creamy tuberose, sweet rose, and a hint of violet. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of earthy patchouli and warm vanilla, providing a smooth, lasting depth without ever feeling heavy.
