Iris 39
EDPUnisex
The Story
Iris 39 is a bold and earthy take on iris, blending the floral root with smoky leather and warm amber. It opens with a sharp green note from galbanum and bergamot, then settles into a rich, almost animalic heart of iris and leather. The base is a comforting mix of amber, musk, and vetiver, giving it a long-lasting, skin-like presence. This is an iris for those who want something dark and mysterious, not powdery and delicate.
