Essential Parfums Velvet Iris

Now available at Rabica, Ottawa’s destination for niche luxury fragrances.

Crafted by the legendary Dominique Ropion, Velvet Iris is a modern ode to the timeless beauty of iris—a flower both regal and sensual. This composition opens with a burst of pink pepper and turmeric leaf, dancing with the green, aromatic energy of buchu, galbanum, and lentisque—evoking the vibrant stem of the flower itself.

As the fragrance settles, the rare iris concrete unveils its dual personality—creamy and powdery, soft yet commanding. Warmth begins to bloom as sandalwood and labdanum merge with Saffiano™, a cutting-edge IFF molecule that blends leathery strength with suede-like softness.

The result is hypnotic and elegant—a deeply carnal fragrance that lingers on the skin with velvety allure.
