Created by Sidonie Lancesseur in 2022, IRIS PALLIDA by Marie Jeanne offers a nuanced, textured interpretation of iris with a refined and contemporary character. Designed as a unisex Eau de Parfum, it moves gracefully between floral, woody and gourmand facets, revealing a composition that feels polished, intimate and quietly distinctive.
The opening sets the tone with Iris Absolute, bringing an elegant powdery quality that immediately feels noble and composed. A hazelnut accord introduces a creamy, lightly toasted nuance that softens the floral profile and gives the fragrance a subtle gourmand accent. Cashmeran adds a velvety, almost tactile warmth, shaping an introduction that feels both delicate and modern.
At the heart, Iris Pallida Butter from Turkey and Italy deepens the theme with a richer, more luxurious expression of iris. Dense, smooth and beautifully sculpted, it becomes the emotional center of the fragrance. Turkish rose lends a graceful floral lift, adding softness and dimension while preserving the perfume’s understated mood. Together, these notes create a heart that is elegant without becoming overly ornate.
The base is built around sandalwood from New Caledonia, labdanum from Spain, patchouli and ambroxan. This foundation brings creamy woods, resinous depth and a polished modern finish that extends the iris trail with composure and warmth. Rather than relying on excess, IRIS PALLIDA speaks through balance, texture and restraint. In its 100 ml Eau de Parfum format, it is a fragrance for those drawn to iris rendered with character, sophistication and a distinctly contemporary sensibility.
