The blue Florentine iris with its characteristic soft powdery fragrance has been used in perfumery since ancient times. Here, Pierre Bourdon pays homage with precious orris root enhanced with bergamot, orange, rosewood, ylang ylang, and magnolia.

Frederic Malle’s concept for Editions de Parfums has been to assemble some of the greatest perfume talents in the industry to establish a publishing house of fragrance featuring a new stable of outspoken and provocative olfactory authors.
His mission was to bring inspiration back to the ‘hidden heart’ of perfumery: commissioning the perfumers to move away from the constraints and demands of today’s mass market and encouraging them to create scents without restriction, from the outer limits of their imagination.
These highly unusual and imaginative fragrances herald a new purity and style in the world of fragrance; rare and precious ingredients are combined in stunning collectors pieces, each one a triumph of the perfumer’s art.
