About

Iris Noir opens with a sharp, aromatic whisper of bergamot and coriander, quickly giving way to a bold, powdery iris heart. This floral core is then swathed in deep, earthy patchouli and a creamy, warm tonka bean. It's a complex dance between cool floral and rich, dark undertones, creating a 'gothic blue velvet' sensation.
