BLUE IRIS

Blue iris evokes an airy floral interpretation of iris, with room for a softly woody dimension. The colour is part of the fragrance imagery: it can suggest a light, open atmosphere rather than a particular species or a single standard material. A blue-iris composition can include orris butter, so the name does not imply that the note is entirely separate from traditional iris materials.

Green floral notes can give this interpretation a fresher frame, while white musks can soften its texture. Their presence depends on the composition; they are not a universal recipe for blue iris. This note may appeal if you enjoy iris in a delicate floral setting with gentle woodiness, rather than seeking a particular flower colour as a guide to ingredients.
