The scent of pushing up earth, the sound of being alone.
Hiris is a masterpiece. There are a very few fragrances to which I would offer this classification, and this 1999 sleeper is definitely one of them.
This is a perfume that is a result of a pure and concise concept with perfect execution. You are the iris flower pushing out of the cold, damp soil, emerging into a vast expanse of green fields and dewy, foggy grey skies. Hiris emulates these colors well - pale green and grey-violet.
Carrot seed essential oil is a beautiful raw material. Combined with bergamot and coriander, it gains an unbelievably real dewy softness that truly smells like dewdrops and unearthed roots. The floral heart is soft and careful. It's vaguely spicy, almost peppery. The root-like qualities are further enhanced by the cedar overdose. The whole thing has a perfect sort of sillage that feels like fine silver gauze, weightless but expansive.
It doesn't last long, though, and fades to a light musk-laden woody floral after a couple of hours. Nonetheless it is beautiful.
The art from the advertisements is for once accurate - this dream is painted in watercolor. If only it just lasted a bit longer!
