Iris Poudre

Iris Poudre, a Powdery Aldehyde Iris

Frederic Malle Iris Poudre is a powdery aldehyde iris scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with aldehydes, bergamot, and orange before an iris, rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang heart settles over vanilla, musk, sandalwood, and tonka bean.

The Story Behind the Scent

Frederic Malle built Iris Poudre as a modern take on the classic aldehyde floral, all sparkling powder and soft iris over creamy vanilla. The idea was a timeless, refined elegance.

That powdery refinement is its appeal. The aldehydes and bergamot give it a sparkling lift, the iris and rose make it powdery and floral, and the vanilla and sandalwood keep it creamy. Our interpretation follows that same timeless path.
