Iris Perfumes & Colognes: 3,077 Fragrances With Iris

Iris perfumes make up 3,077 fragrances in our catalog, with iris used as a heart note 73% of the time. Iris smells powdery, soft and slightly earthy, with a cool, carrot-like or buttery facet. It comes from orris root that is aged for years before extraction, making it one of the most costly materials, and it usually sits in the heart. It is most often paired with aldehydes, hyacinth and civet, and these perfumes tend to be floral and spicy. Well-known examples include Shalimar by Guerlain, L'Aventure Knight by Al Haramain and Club de Nuit Sillage by Armaf.
