Velvet Iris
Velvet Iris by Essential Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as galbanum, mastic, iris, leather, sandalwood and labdanum, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Mastic Resinous pine-and-lemon. The chew of Greek gum.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
