Naomi Goodsir Iris Cendre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Julien Rasquinet. Iris Cendre opens with Floral, Spicy, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Iris, Violet, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Amber, Tobacco, and Labdanum. Naomi Goodsir's Iris Cendre carries a Statement verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Iris Cendre is a captivating paradox, a gothic dream that marries stark, earthy iris with an almost unsettling smokiness. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but for those who get it, it's a masterpiece.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its distinctive and somewhat challenging opening, and an intimate sillage, this leans away from a casual daytime or office wear. It truly shines on dates or formal occasions where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming others, though some found its longevity lacking for all-day wear.

About

Iris Cendre opens with a surprising, almost abrasive blast of rooty iris and green violet, mingled with a faint, sharp citrus. This quickly deepens into a waxy, powdery heart, where the iris takes centre stage, underscored by a cool, clean incense. The dry down is a velvety embrace of smoky amber, rich labdanum, and a whisper of dry tobacco, creating a darkly elegant and introspective aura.
