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.

Its moderate sillage and longevity, combined with its distinct gourmand character, make it less ideal for office wear or sport. However, its elegant and warm profile is perfectly suited for romantic evenings, special occasions, and cooler weather casual wear, with multiple reviewers highlighting its comforting and sophisticated nature.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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 Ganache opens with a tantalising whisper of white chocolate and a subtle hint of cinnamon, brightened by a flash of bergamot. This quickly unfurls into a rich, powdery iris heart, grounded by earthy patchouli and warm cedar. The dry-down settles into a creamy blend of vanilla, amber, and musk, forming a sophisticated, gourmand embrace that's both delicious and distinctly elegant.
