Olfactive Studio Iris Shot is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Dominique Ropion. Iris Shot opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Iris, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Ambroxan. Olfactive Studio's Iris Shot carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This isn't just an iris, it's a 'shot' of elegant, grown-up almond-iris. Divisive for some who crave classic powdery iris, but a sophisticated, creamy dream for those who want something unique and restrained.

About

Iris Shot opens with a surprising zing of cardamom and pink pepper, brightened by aldehydes, before settling into a soft, powdery heart of iris. The star here is a nuanced almond, which lends a creamy, almost marzipan-like sweetness without becoming cloying. Carrot seeds add an earthy, slightly vegetal touch, while a base of vetiver, cedar, and ambroxan provides a subtle woody depth and a luxurious, 'leather-suede' finish.
