Santa Maria Novella L'Iris Eau de Parfum 50 ml

The first Eau de Parfum created by Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica of Santa Maria Novella after over 800 years of activity. The basis of the olfactory construction is iris butter ("iris concrete") extracted from the rhizomes of the flower: extremely precious, they require 6 years of maturation. The most elegant raw material among the ingredients of the poudré, it combines with bright top notes such as neroli, Timur pepper and galbanum, and proceeds to a floral heart composed of geranium, sambach jasmine and magnolia champaca. Finally, we arrive at the base, dove a classic iris of Florentine origin reveals Florence itself through a balanced olfactory discovery. Designed by the creative nose Gian Luca Perris, L'Iris Eau de Parfum 50 ml reinterprets the history of Florence, celebrating its multiple and multifaceted ties with the flower that is still its symbol today. But also recalling the legend of the goddess Iris, messenger of Olympus and a flower already known to the Egyptian, Greek and Latin civilizations. The transparent glass bottle houses a velvety label with the historic logo of the Maison and a cap in gold zamac alloy and engraved that recalls its shapes. Grace, technique, mystery and elegance are distilled in an Eau de Parfum that creates the very essence of time.
