Greenwich Village perfumer Aedes de Venustas has created a new perfume that attempts to capture the essence of a rare flower. The iris only grows in the mountains east of Nazareth and iris flowers don’t have a scent so the fragrance is inspired by the color, texture and pattern of it’s blossom.
The iris has brown or purple spots and delicate bluish-purple veins. The perfume ‘Iris Nazarena’ features ambrette, aromatic juniper berry, star anise, and rose to add a touch of floral sensuality.
Patchouli and vetiver allude to its roots, driven into the dark earth, and there are also leather, incense, musk and clove notes. The perfume is packaged in a grey velvet box and a smoky glass vintage-inspired bottle, crowned with Aedes de Venustas’ signature baroque gold cap. The 3.4 oz bottle is available for $245.
