Iris de Nuit – Eau de Parfum

Heeley - IRIS DE NUIT - Eau de Parfum

"IRIS DE NUIT" by James Heeley is a fragrance that celebrates the seductive and delicate essence of iris, one of the finest ingredients in classic perfumery. Unlike other floral fragrances that derive their scent from the flower itself, iris perfume is derived from the roots of the iris plant, known for their warm and subtle aroma. The process of creating iris butter, also known as orris butter, is a meticulous and time-consuming one.

It begins with the harvesting of iris roots, typically done during the plant's dormant seasons. Once harvested, the roots are carefully cleaned and dried over a period of several years to preserve their aromatic properties. After drying, the roots are ground into a fine powder, which is then mixed with a fatty carrier material and heated to extract the valuable essential oils and aromas.

This extraction process requires patience and precision to ensure that all the flavors are fully captured. The resulting iris butter is a highly prized ingredient in perfumery, known for its refined and sensual scent. 

James Heeley has masterfully incorporated this essence into "IRIS DE NUIT", balancing its earthy aspects with sweetness and transparency. The fragrance is slightly powdery, with a gentle sweetness that is both captivating and understated. "Iris de Nuit" embodies the timeless elegance of iris, offering a sophisticated and skin-friendly scent that is sure to enchant and delight.
