Description

Ode to the velvety petals of the flower, Dominique Ropion delivers a woody, carnal interpretation of the iris. It all begins with a breath of spicy freshness, rising like the majestic stem of the iris: pink pepper and turmeric leaf electrify buchu leaf with aromatic and herbaceous accents. Balanced by the crisp greenness of galbanum and lentisque, the precious iris concrete gradually warms on the skin, revealing more carnal inflections, both creamy and powdery. Sensuality blooms ever so softly, brought to life by the drydown of Velvet Iris: a woven from the milky notes of sandalwood, the warmth of labdanum and the contemporary vibrations of SaffianoTM, an exclusive IFF molecule that combines the power of leather with the softness of suede. A truly languorous experience, Velvet Iris reveals its powerful yet caressingly soft signature when worn. A hypnotic trail, elegant and infinitely carnal.

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
