Description
The Iris is a journey through time and space. The flower has been the symbol of Florence since 1266, and Santa Maria Novella has paid tribute to it by creating its first eau de parfum by Gian Luca Perris. Iris is one of the most precious raw materials in perfumery: iris butter is extracted from the rhizomes, which must mature for 6 years. Iris is also a goddess, the one who traveled on rainbows to transmit messages from the gods to mortals. This fragrance is a luminous bouquet, where galbanum and neroli reveal the delicacy of the city while timur pepper reminds us of the mystery it exudes. As we stroll through the small streets steeped in history, geranium, magnolia and jasmine unfold with grace and reflect the city in its complexity. Finally, iris emerges in a perfectly mastered technique, where perfumery know-how elegantly blends it with musk and ambergris. Iris describes a new story of Florence, blending past and present, nature, technique and myth.

Santa Maria Novella
"Florence is a living city, in constant movement and full of sounds. These sensations suddenly change in the historic boutique of the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. The outside noises are attenuated, the air is impregnated with a thousand scents. Here, time begins to go backwards, to 1221." - Renato Bianco
