Iris Poudre was created in 2000 by Pierre Bourdon. Iris Poudre translates to “Powdery Iris” in
English, but, for the record, Iris Poudre is not so powdery after all, there’s
a hint of powder but it’s a conservative amount.
Here is the description of Iris Poudre from the Editions de
Parfums website:
“Iris expresses raw classical beauty. Tonka bean, musk and
vanilla bring softness and warmth, while the base of sandalwood and vetiver
adds a melodious resonance. If Pierre Bourdon's Iris Poudre were a garment, it
would be a cashmere sweater - classic but personal, appropriate for most
occasions, something one never tires of. It is a grand floral aldehydic.”
To us, Iris Poudre is a beautiful “Chanel-esque”
perfume. It smells sophisticated,
expensive and lovely. The aldehydes are
there but they aren’t particularly aggressive.
Iris Poudre is a Posh Peasant favorite.
