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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong sillage and 'statement' character make it less suitable for a typical office or casual day. However, its dark, sensual nature is perfect for date nights or formal events, where it's hailed for making a memorable impression.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

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.
