About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Hermès Iris (1999) is a floral green composition that places iris at the forefront, supported by a complex pyramid. The top notes blend iris with coriander, carnation, and amber, while the heart combines iris with neroli and rose. The base rests on cedar, almond tree, honey, and vanilla. This structure yields a powdery, woody iris with violet and earthy facets, as reflected in the main accords: iris 100%, powdery 81%, woody 80%, violet 65%, floral 61%, earthy 58%.
Collectors who appreciate iris-centric fragrances with a vintage character will find this compelling. The powdery and woody profile suits those who prefer elegant, understated scents for daytime or formal wear. It is particularly fitting for women seeking a classic floral green with depth and a soft, earthy finish. The 1999 release captures a specific moment in Hermès's olfactory history, making it a noteworthy addition for enthusiasts of the house or of iris compositions.
