Iris Lumière unfolds with a dewy, green floral intensity that feels both crisp and ethereal. The opening is dominated by lily-of-the-valley and hyacinth, layered with a subtle green galbanum and incense, creating a fresh yet quietly complex atmosphere. As it evolves, the scent lingers on a delicate core of orris and frankincense, with minimal powdery weight despite the name. The iris is rarely the central focus—more of a faint earthy trace beneath the dominant floral-green structure—making the perfume feel less like a classic iris fragrance and more like a luminous, green-lily-of-the-valley composition. It wears well in warmer months and performs with surprising longevity, especially in small doses, with a moderate to strong sillage that adapts to both day and night settings. The fragrance is elegant, transparent, and achieved with technical precision, evoking a moment of natural stillness in a sunlit field of flora.
