Inspired by a trip to Rome where Naomi stumbled upon a wonderful art supplies store. The scent of the store evoked a nostalgia that needed to be interpreted into perfume. Naomi perfectly created this airy and gentle scent whilst celebrating the buttery note of Iris in Iris Cendré. Imagine the incredible smell of brisk walk in the rain, your woollen hat getting slightly damp, then the smell of beautiful, high quality paper as you explore the wonders of the art supplies store. The clean smell of comfort and possibility, a floral tone with an understated sensuality.

HOW IT WEARS
Iris Cendré beautifully heroes the Iris note creating a dry, green floral tone with a hint of powder. There is a smokiness that does come out on the skin but never overpowers the Iris. Iris Cendré is an Eau de Parfum so we get a good, long wear of around 8 hours on the skin – it isn’t too loud but is always distinctive.
LORE LOVES
We love how evocative all of Naomi Goodsir’s fragrances are, and we love the story of the art store, the slightly damp wool scent. Iris Cendré is slightly smoky which creates such a gorgeous twist on the traditional Iris perfumes!

Its hard to pinpoint what it is about this scent thats so exquisite, but what ever it is, its a winner in my books.
Kind of like going for a stroll in Autumn and stumbling across a beautiful little pond, well lit with the evening sun, glistening water, iris resting upon its little banks, you sit down, take in a deep breath and start to smell your surrounding. Now bottle that smell, that wet, green and floral fragrance, Thats what Iris centre is, its nature in all its glory, powerful, real and almost uncontainable, This one has to be tried to the skin, The story it tells, is unlike no other.
