AFFINESSENCE CEDRE-IRIS

AFFINESSENCE CEDRE-IRIS pairs Iris Pallida absolute with three cedar essences, softening the dry powdery structure with benzoin and myrrh before guaiac wood and incense add smoky tension.

Profile: Woody / powdery iris.

Notes: iris Pallida absolute, Virginia cedar, Texas cedar, Atlas cedar, benzoin, myrrh, guaiac wood, incense.

Evolution: powdery iris held against three dry cedars, rounded by benzoin and myrrh, with guaiac wood and incense adding smoky tension.

Best for: CEDRE-IRIS will speak to a quiet aesthete who prefers precise lines, raw wood and thoughtful restraint to obvious prettiness. Its dry, powdery mood fits cool weather, an architecture studio or a long library afternoon; the incense-shadowed cedars can feel too severe if you want a soft cosmetic iris.

Origin: France.
