Iris Ardent by Molinard £110.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- angelica root
- leather
- mandarin
- orris (iris root)
- violet leaf
- Aromagroups:
- edible
- woody
There’s a tantalising friction in the smell of iris root. It’s austere, but tender. It can be powdery, but it also suggests leather. Depending on the context, it can read as feminine or masculine. Iris Ardent resolves this fabled material’s dissonance in a compelling eau de parfum that balances all of iris’ contradictions. The opening spikes of cypress and vetiver provide the scaffolding for cushiony amber and powdery iris. Juniper’s bright twang illuminates the darkness of incense and moss. Intellectual, but accessible.
