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.

Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and warm, inviting character make it suitable for casual wear and dates, with enough refinement for office environments. The woody-spicy profile is less suited for formal events or sporty activities.

Declarable allergens

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

Bel Iris opens with marigold and peach, a soft and slightly fruity start. The heart is led by iris, with cedar, clove, rose and jasmine adding woody, spicy and floral layers around it. In the base, sandalwood, vanilla, musk and patchouli give a warm, creamy finish. This eau de toilette is a powdery iris scent with a little spice and sweetness, polished and easy to wear.
