Working together with perfumer Julien Rasquinet, Naomi Goodsir has created a contemporary fragrance suitable for both men and women, based around an iconic, almost sacred flower steeped in history and mythology: The Iris.
Iris Cendré opens on a fresh floral note led by bergamot, tangerine and warm, inviting spices. In the heart of the fragrance, the same rich incense used in Naomi Goodsir’s Bois d’Ascèse (which was also created by Julien Rasquinet), meets the nose, melding beautifully with powdery notes of majestic violet and precious iris butter. Known as one of the most expensive raw materials used by perfumers today, Naomi chose a rich and deep iris butter which suffuses a powdery, green and woody note with nuances of suede leather.
This exquisite base of the fragrance is complemented by labdanum, blond tobacco and ambergris offering an oriental drydown that seductively blends with the skin.
