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.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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 d'Argent opens with a surprisingly juicy burst of citrus, quickly giving way to a cool, almost metallic iris that bypasses traditional powdery sweetness. As it settles, the scent develops a modern chypre-like quality with subtle woody accents from cedar and vetiver, all underpinned by a clean, restrained amber that prevents it from becoming too stark. The oakmoss and patchouli provide an earthy, grounded depth, creating a sophisticated and somewhat unconventional iris experience.
