Iris Malikhân – Eau de Parfum

Maison Crivelli – Parisian niche perfumery that builds every fragrance around a single, often overlooked raw material.

Iris Malikhân is powdery-floral and sweet-leathery – cypress and galbanum open green and bitter, orris butter and mimosa absolute form a powdery core, while amber, leather, mastic resin, musk and vanilla lay down a warm, almost gourmand-vanilla depth. Here too, Maison Crivelli skips the classic top-heart-base pyramid.

Iris Malikhân works all year round, day and night – a unisex fragrance that suits a versatile, warm signature scent.

What convinces us about Iris Malikhân is the contrast Marc Zini finds here: a green, bitter, powdery iris that meets vanilla and leather and turns almost addictively warm as a result – iris that doesn't stay cool and brittle, but ventures into gourmand territory.
