VELVET IRIS by Dominique Ropion Ode to the velvety petals of the flower, Dominique Ropion delivers a woody, carnal interpretation of the iris. It all begins with a breath of spicy freshness, rising like the majestic stem of the iris: pink pepper and turmeric leaf electrify buchu leaf with aromatic and herbaceous accents. Balanced by the crisp greenness of galbanum and lentisque, the precious iris concrete gradually warms on the skin, revealing more carnal inflections, both creamy and powdery.
