Pictura Fragrans Van Gogh’s Irises is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by DL Jenkins. Van Gogh’s Irises opens with Citrus, Sandalwood, Lavender, and Bay Leaf, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant Leaf, Orris Butter, Powdery, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Brown Sugar, Musk, Amber, and Oud. Pictura Fragrans's Van Gogh’s Irises carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Van Gogh's Irises is a powdery iris scent with an unexpected spice and sweetness: lavender, turmeric and clove over musk, brown sugar and oud. It is complex and distinctive, and a good choice for people who find ordinary iris scents too tame.

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.

About

It opens with bay leaf, lavender, turmeric, citrus and sandalwood, a herbal and spicy start. The heart centres on orris butter, with powdery notes, castoreum, clove and blackcurrant leaf adding animalic warmth and a green, fruity edge. The base of musk, brown sugar, tonka bean, vanilla, oud, amber and cardamom is sweet, resinous and deep. It is a powdery, spicy and slightly sweet iris with a lot of layers.
