Velvet Iris

Velvet Iris by the Swedish house Pana Dora, composed by Ibrahim Al Zoabi and released in 2021, is a gourmand fragrance first, with woods close behind and lighter citrus, floral, aromatic and ambery facets. It is made for anyone.

Bergamot and bitter orange give a bright, slightly bitter citrus opening, while mint adds a cool, aromatic lift and raspberry a juicy fruitiness. Iris brings a cool, powdery, slightly earthy elegance to the heart. The gourmand side is rich: dark chocolate offers a bittersweet cocoa note, and caramel and vanilla a sticky, creamy sweetness. The base is woody and warm, with cedar and sandalwood giving dry and creamy woods, and a soft ambery, musky glow rounding off the finish.

The pairing of powdery iris with chocolate and caramel gives it a velvety, indulgent character suited to autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions. It should appeal to people who like sweet gourmands with a refined iris note and a woody backbone.
