Irise by Lanvin c1923

Irise by Lanvin: launched in 1923 and created by Madame Marie Zede. The name of the perfume means "iridescent" in French.



Fragrance Composition:



So what does it smell like? It was built upon an accord of iris and violet. I believe that Madame Zede made use of a base called Iralia® in the creation of this perfume. Iralia® is a pre-fabricated base of methyl ionones manufactured by Firmenich, it is used in perfumery to help create a woody and flowery violet-orris note.
  • Top notes: iris
  • Middle notes: violet
  • Base notes: orris

Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued in 1926.
