La Closerie des Parfums Exploration Iris – Iris married to rare spices

La Closerie Exploration Iris: iris married to rare spices

The powdery line of the maison

Exploration Iris is the powdery line of La Closerie des Parfums, maison founded in 2019. A line that pairs iris — the most precious raw material of perfumery — with rare spices that highlight its multiple facets: pink berry for fresh-violet dimension, coriander for citrus-aromatic dimension. A modern reading of one of the most aristocratic notes of perfumery.

The Iris creations

The Exploration Iris brings together Iris Baie Rose and Iris Coriandre — two compositions that demonstrate the writing principle of the maison: precious iris highlighted by a precise spice.

Iris, the most precious matter of perfumery

Iris deserves a special mention in haute parfumerie: its production requires up to 6 years of soil maturation before extraction (orris butter, the most expensive raw material in perfumery, can reach €100,000 per kilo). The Closerie inscribes itself in this aristocratic tradition by paying tribute to the matter through associations chosen with surgical precision.

Who is Exploration Iris for, and when to wear it?

Exploration Iris speaks to lovers of refined and aristocratic perfumery, who appreciate the precious matter highlighted with sobriety. Creations sit in the powdery, floral and aromatic families. If you enjoy Exploration Iris, you will also want to explore the Houbigant Les Matières (other heritage iris), Goutal Iris and the Atelier des Ors Iris Fauve — three other prestige iris signatures at Soleil d'Or.
