LabSolue presents the olfactory celebration of Iris. An essence dedicated to the splendor of iris root, supported by the seduction of styrax and leather.
A mythical Greek name that encompasses beauty and power: the goddess of the rainbow, messenger of the gods, who transmits divine messages through a multicolored bridge. From iris rhizomes dried for a long time, for years, a celestial perfume is extracted that becomes an earthly message. A surprising contrast between the dark scent of the underground and the candid fragrance of a flower. Powdery, floral, warm, seductive and tenacious. With a nostalgic charm and a romantic sensuality, an attraction at once earthly and celestial.
Fun Fact
Fresh iris rhizomes are almost odorless, they must be dried for three to six years to develop the characteristic scent. They are then steam distilled to produce a thick, oily compound, known in perfumery as iris butter or orris oil, which solidifies as a cream-colored, wax-like mass, known as orris concrete. In Florence, "Il Giardino dell'Iris", one of the most famous of its kind in the world, hosts an annual competition among growers of this flower.
