Iris flowers exist on almost all continents, with over 300 species. Iris rhizomes from Iris pallida and Iris germanica produce one of the rarest and most elegant perfumery materials: orris.
I created Iris Nomad around the concept that iris species have traveled the world for centuries, and during the Age of Discoveries, it crisscrossed continents at the hands of botanists and explorers, either as gifts or as treasures to be replanted in private gardens.
To construct a respectable iris accord, one must use real orris root materials; in this case, I used a tincture from Morocco, orris butter, alpha-irones, and a variety of ionones, in order to achieve a strong diffusion and cold/ hot throw.
