Iris and cardamom in one perfume

A cool powdery impression recalling cosmetic powder, violet and dry roots, sometimes with a soft woody or carrot-like edge. Iris gives flowers a velvety texture and softens the meeting of musk and woods. Perfumery orris is associated with the rhizome rather than the flower, but an unqualified iris label does not establish a species, origin, natural extract or extraction method.

Cardamom can bring cool, aromatic spice with green or camphor-like facets and a little fruity brightness, rather than only cinnamon-like warmth. It can enliven citrus, coffee or woods. A green-cardamom label is not proof of a leaf extract, and the note alone does not identify the perfume’s exact species, oil or extraction.
