A cool, modern iris interpretation built on the brand’s highest-dosed and rare Bavarian iris pallida. Based on standard iris concentrations of around 0.1% in the fragrance oil, Iris Altesse contains an approximately 26-fold higher dose of iris butter and iris extract. Here, iris root revels in its chalky, clean leather side, with a fruity flourish supplied by jasmine sambac and cassis. Classy and hip.
Perfumer: Antoine Lie
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is for close quarters and attentive company, where a composed presence matters more than volume. It suits a person who wants to smell polished, slightly aloof and intellectually sharp, with the iris reading as clean, mineral and faintly savory rather than soft or romantic.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, when its powdery iris and floral facets can stay crisp. Apply lightly at first: as an extrait, it will sit close and refined on skin, then open into a soft, elegant trail that feels clearer in air than in heat.
Who it’s for
For iris lovers who prefer a dry, chalky, slightly leathery take over sweet or buttery powder. It will appeal to those drawn to vintage-style floral structure, clean sophistication and fragrances with a quiet, unconventional edge.

The nose
Antoine Lie is known for a bold, textural style that often pushes materials into unusual territory while keeping the composition legible. His work frequently balances elegance with a slightly subversive edge, which suits Iris Altesse’s clean, savory iris profile and its vintage-leaning restraint. In Iris Altesse, Lie appears to have shaped the iris around its mineral, powdery and leathery facets rather than treating it as a soft cosmetic note. The result is a composed, high-contrast iris extrait that feels refined, but not polite.
Danner & Flemming’s story
Danner & Flemming presents itself as a house of rare materials, artisanal extraction and high-concentration compositions, with a particular devotion to iris. Its aesthetic is elegant and understated, but grounded in the idea of natural limitation and careful craftsmanship rather than mass-market polish.
Iris Altesse’s concept
Iris Altesse is built around a rare Bavarian Iris pallida and presented as a millésime fragrance, with an unusually high dose of iris butter and iris extract. The name adds a Savoy wine reference, reinforcing the idea of freshness, refinement and cultivated rarity behind the composition.
Extra info
The fragrance is made around a very high iris dosage, far above standard concentrations, which is why the brand presents it in naturally limited quantities. Its name, Altesse, references a rare old white grape variety from Savoy.
