Iris

L'Erbolario Iris is an Eau de Parfum. The fragrance opens with Ylang-Ylang, Bergamot, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Hawthorn and Iris, and dries down to a base of Sugar Cane, Musk, Vanilla, and Tobacco.

Our verdict on Iris: Acquired

This is a fiercely divisive powder bomb, a sweet iris that smells like luxury make-up or baby wipes depending on who you ask. Prepare for monstrous longevity and projection too - it’s not for shrinking violets.

Casual Formal

Given its intense sillage and exceptional longevity, Iris might be too overpowering for an office setting. However, its warming, sensual nature and comforting sweetness are perfect for date nights or cosier formal events, whilst it's a bit too heavy for casual wear or sport.

About

L'Erbolario Iris opens with a burst of bright aldehydic sweetness, softened by a touch of ylang-ylang and bergamot. The heart quickly reveals a plush, powdery iris, underpinned by the gentle floral whisper of hawthorn. As it dries down, a substantial base of sugar cane and vanilla emerges, wrapped in soft musk, with just a hint of tobacco lending a subtle, dark edge to this intensely powdery and sweet composition.
