Xerjoff Irisss is a Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jacques Flori. Irisss opens with Carrot Seeds, Bergamot, and Carnation, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Incense. Xerjoff's Irisss carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a serious, opulent iris, and it's not for everyone. While a consensus champion for iris devotees, those new to the note might find its earthy, rooty profile challenging. Prepare for true luxury, but consider a sample first - your wallet will thank you.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its high price tag and sophisticated, long-lasting aroma with moderate sillage make it better suited for intimate occasions, formal events, and dates rather than the office or casual wear. The elegant, slightly old-fashioned character aligns well with dressed-up settings.

About

Irisss opens with an earthy and slightly vegetal hit of carrot seeds and bergamot, quickly followed by a powdery, almost waxy iris that dominates the heart. Violet and a subtle carnation add a softly floral, vintage makeup-bag quality, while an undertone of cedar, vetiver, and incense grounds the whole composition. It's a clean, sophisticated take on iris, with a noticeable creamy powderiness.
