ESSENTIAL PARFUMS PARIS EAU DE PARFUM Refill VELVET IRIS by Dominique Ropion 150 ml
ESSENTIAL PARFUMS PARIS
Velvet Iris explores iris through a woody and textured composition that balances green freshness with a smooth, powdery depth. Dominique Ropion approaches the flower with restraint and structure, giving the fragrance a modern character that feels polished rather than overly cosmetic.
The opening combines pink pepper, turmeric leaf and buchu leaf, creating an aromatic and lightly spicy introduction with herbal facets. Iris gradually moves to the forefront alongside galbanum and lentisque, adding earthy, resinous and softly creamy nuances. The base settles into sandalwood, warm labdanum and Saffiano™, an exclusive IFF accord that blends leathery strength with suede-like softness.
Created by Dominique Ropion and released in 2025, Velvet Iris is composed as an Eau de Parfum concentrated at 17%. The formula uses beetroot-derived alcohol and follows the minimalist, sustainability-focused direction of Essential Parfums.
On skin, the fragrance develops with a velvety texture and a smooth woody trail. Powdery iris facets remain present throughout the wear, while the leathery and balsamic undertones add depth without overwhelming the composition.
