Named after a very old native red grape variety from the French Jura, this sophisticated gourmand iris is built on an exceptionally high concentration of Bavarian iris germanica. This iris glows with woody and fruity-floral notes — and hints of cocoa and coffee. The effect is enhanced with essential oils of cedar wood, green mandarin and cinnamon absolute, resulting in a luxury treat that feels indulgent and comforting at the same time.
Perfumer: Antoinie Lie
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A quiet, close conversation as the afternoon darkens: the powdery iris suggests old-school formality, but raspberry and cocoa soften the impression. Its woody, spiced richness suits an unhurried presence—composed without feeling austere.
How to wear
Cool weather is a natural setting for this rich iris extrait, allowing its cocoa and cinnamon warmth to sit comfortably around the powdery core. Start with one light spray on the torso or wrist; add another only after assessing its strength. Use a lighter hand in warmth or close quarters.
Who it’s for
For iris lovers who enjoy powder with substance: woody depth, warm spice and gourmand accents rather than a purely airy floral effect. It will particularly appeal to tastes that combine old-school perfumery with generous texture and fruit-softened richness.

The nose
Antoine Lie is known for compositions that pair technical precision with unconventional textures and striking contrasts. His work includes Rien and Sécrétions Magnifiques for Etat Libre d’Orange, fragrances that demonstrate his willingness to challenge familiar ideas of beauty. For Iris Poulsard, he turns that exploratory approach toward Bavarian iris, setting its powdery, woody character against fruit, spice and gourmand nuances. He composed the house’s inaugural collection with considerable creative freedom.
Collaborators
Biologist Marcel Flemming and farmer Christian Danner developed the Bavarian iris cultivation and material-production work that supplies the fragrance’s central ingredient. Their contribution lies in growing and preparing the iris materials around which Antoine Lie built the composition.
Danner & Flemming’s story
Danner & Flemming approaches perfume from the field upward, combining Bavarian iris cultivation, scientific processing and French perfumery. The character of its own iris materials guides the compositions rather than market trends, while its millésime approach gives harvest differences and limited material availability a place in the finished perfumes.
Iris Poulsard’s concept
Iris Poulsard emerged from a Bavarian iris-growing project whose founders turned to finished perfume as a way to sustain their labor-intensive cultivation. Part of Antoine Lie’s inaugural trio for the house, it explores iris through a fruity, spicy gourmand treatment. Its name comes from Poulsard, an old red grape variety native to France’s Jura region.
Extra info
Poulsard names a Jura grape, not an iris variety. The advertised 4.1% iris content refers to iris materials within the perfume oil, not the finished bottled liquid. Its central iris is grown and processed in Bavaria, while the finished fragrance is made in France.
