Floral

Iris tingitana smells like powdered violet petals mixed with soft, creamy butter and a whisper of fresh-cut grass. Imagine walking through a Moroccan garden after rain—there's an earthy, slightly peppery undertone that feels both delicate and substantial. It's not the bright, cheerful iris of spring gardens; rather, it's deeper, more sophisticated, with a subtle anisic warmth reminiscent of old perfume bottles found in grandmother's dressing table. The scent has an almost edible quality, like ground iris root mixed with pale leather and honeyed wood.

Floral

Imagine walking through an English cottage garden on a dewy morning in late spring—that's May rose absolute. It smells intensely floral, almost intoxicating, with a deep, honeyed richness far more complex than a fresh-cut rose. There's a subtle fruitiness underneath (like dried apricots), a whisper of spice, and an almost creamy, indolic warmth that feels slightly green and slightly animalic. It's opulent and slightly heady—the smell of petals that have been slowly warming in the sun.
