IRIS Eau de Parfum by Molinard: A Symphony of Scent and Sophistication
In a striking ode to one of the most cherished essences in perfumery, Molinard has proudly announced the launch of its new fragrance, "IRIS Eau de Parfum," as part of the esteemed Les Éléments Collection. This collection is celebrated for its exquisite focus on premier materials that have long defined the art of fragrance. The latest addition, set for release in 2024, is a profound homage to the iris, a component with a rich heritage and a staple in luxury perfumery.
The new fragrance draws inspiration from the Florentine iris, which has captivated the French perfume industry with its delicate yet distinct aroma. Molinard describes the iris as a "material of emotions," which leads the wearer on an aromatic journey through a nuanced landscape of scents. According to Molinard, the iris embodies simplicity and authenticity, offering a sensory experience that resembles an "olfactory poem."
The design of IRIS Eau de Parfum reflects the legacy of the House of Molinard, with the bottle and packaging echoing the flower’s elegant hues. Symbolizing both violet and rose, the color palette complements the floral and musky family to which this fragrance belongs. The perfume itself is structured around a sophisticated profile of evocations—gentle, carefree, reassuring, and sparkling.
Top Notes: Begin with a refreshing and slightly spicy blend of pink pepper, violet leaves, and pepper, setting a vibrant opening.
Middle Notes: At the heart, iris and rose fuse in a floral celebration that anchors the fragrance’s central theme.
Base Notes: The scent settles into a warm, lingering base of cedar, musk, and cashmere woods, adding depth and a touch of luxury to the overall composition.
IRIS Eau de Parfum is not just a fragrance; it's a narrative in itself, designed to evoke a range of emotions and memories. Each note is carefully chosen to represent the multifaceted nature of the iris, making it a versatile choice for fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate both tradition and innovation.
Molinard’s commitment to crafting profound olfactory experiences continues with this launch, reaffirming the brand’s status as a pioneer in the perfume industry. As IRIS Eau de Parfum joins the ranks of Molinard's revered creations, it promises to enchant a new generation of perfume lovers, inviting them to explore the depths of one of perfumery's most beloved notes.
