A new chapter in the world of perfumery has been written with the introduction of Fleur d’Iris and Bois de Santal by Karl Lagerfeld. These two exquisite fragrances are the latest additions to the renowned Les Parfums Matières collection. Fleur d’Iris highlights the luxurious iris flower, presenting it as a radiant amber floral scent, while Bois de Santal delves into the profound richness of sandalwood, enhanced with a blend of spices and woody notes. Each fragrance is crafted to deliver an elegant and modern olfactory experience, appealing to those who appreciate sophisticated scents.
For lovers of floral elegance, Fleur d’Iris introduces a delicate yet powerful aroma that places the iris flower at its core. This luminous scent opens with a refreshing burst of mandarin essence and orange blossom absolute, gradually revealing a velvety, powdery texture of iris that feels graceful on the skin. The fragrance's journey continues with soft undertones of heliotrope, Madagascan vanilla absolute, and musk, creating a sensual trail that is both comforting and contemporary. Perfumers Émilie Coppermann and Pierre Guéros describe this creation as an iris that balances between wood and flower, where the rhizome expresses itself through powdery and enveloping nuances.
In contrast, Bois de Santal offers a deep dive into the world of woody aromas. It features sandalwood as its star component, enriched by the invigorating freshness of Madagascar black pepper, sage, and cypress. At its heart lies the warmth of sandalwood absolute, which is amplified by the sacred presence of Palo Santo. The base notes incorporate tonka bean and amber, bringing a smoky sensuality and enduring trail to this spicy, woody, and ambery fragrance. Coppermann and Guéros reinvent sandalwood, showcasing its creamy and enveloping qualities, complemented by guaiac wood nuances and a refined bouquet of spices.
Both Fleur d’Iris and Bois de Santal are available in 50ml and 100ml sizes, offering versatility for different preferences. These fragrances promise not only to captivate the senses but also to enhance personal style with their unique compositions.
With these new releases, Karl Lagerfeld continues to push boundaries in the realm of perfumery. By blending traditional elements with modern twists, the brand ensures that each bottle tells a story of sophistication and innovation. For those seeking to explore the intricate art of fragrance, Fleur d’Iris and Bois de Santal provide an ideal opportunity to indulge in a sensory journey unlike any other.
