    Velvet Iris by Essential Parfums

    Dominique Ropion, 2025.

    Essential Parfums launches the new perfume, Velvet Iris, created by master Perfumer Dominique Ropion.

    The Velvet Iris smells like the departure of winter and early spring, when we feel greenery emerging from the buds and new life, breaking the earth’s surface.

    Galbanum highlights the green top, the heart is centred around a woody-faceted iris, and the base is earthy and warm.

    Essential Parfums prepares the official launch for the middle of May.
