The Iris has always been considered a symbol of purity and nobility of spirit. It is a flower rich in symbolism, linked to different civilizations throughout history: from the ancient Egyptians to the deities of Greece to Christianity. Its name comes from a Greek word meaning rainbow, and refers to the many shades of its colors.

IRIS FLOWERS AND THEIR SPECIAL FEATURES

Just like the rainbow, these flowers can be found in the most beautiful gardens in many shades: blues, pinks, oranges and all the wonderful shades of purple from the most delicate to the most intense. Attracted by these colors, irises are often surrounded by butterflies, which mingle among their sinuously shaped petals. For these reasons and because of their sinuous and elegant shape, they are featured in the paintings of famous painters such as Van Gogh, and in the most luxurious arrangements of cut flowers.

IRIS PERFUME: WHY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED

Iris is not only a beautiful flower, it is also one of the noblest and most ethereal raw materials in the history of perfumery. The charm of its olfactory profile lies in the complex facets it takes on: powdery, woody, intimate, leathery, and with bitter cocoa accents.

Iris is generally associated with vintage women’s perfumery, but it is now also found in men’s fragrances to give an elegant nuance to woody notes.

BETELGEUSE IRIS: PERFUME

Betelgeuse interprets an unconventional iris: a creation that incorporates the velvety petals of the flower delicately warmed by the aromatic character of coffee and the vegetal earthiness of oakmoss. The delicate powder rises in a leathery, bitter swirl that leads to spirited coriander and fruity osmanthus. If you love scents with an unforgettable personality, discover Betelgeuse is the creative interpretation you didn’t expect.
