IRIS

Binomial name: Iridaceae.
Origin: Temperate regions of the northern hemisphere.
Combines: Violet, Lavender, Orange Blossom and Ambrette.

The amazing scent of Iris surprisingly comes from its root instead of its petals as is common. In perfumery, the iris brings delicate and subtle notes that accentuate its feminine character. The fragrance of iris is similar to the scent of violet with some curious base notes that give it a fixation and a soft and cuddly perfume profile.

Synonymy: Schwertlilien, Lirio, Flor de Lis, Iridaceae.
