Iris Nazarena by Aedes de Venustas, is a perfume of rare beauty, where the most precious and the most ancient aromatic essential oils come together for a perfume that moves perfumery into the future by going back to its roots.
Iris occupies a precious position in the world of perfumery: its prices soar above gold and its singular aroma cannot be experienced for six years after planting. In AEDES DE VENUSTAS IRIS NAZARENA the rare floral root is reborn. It is immersed in a conversation with incense, resulting in a mysterious and sensual iris-incense accord that drives this deeply captivating perfume.
Perfumer Ralf Schwieger had long wanted to offer a contemporary interpretation of iris without referencing its best-known olfactory expressions, particularly Chanel N°19, which he calls “the benchmark of iris perfumes and an unsurpassed model since its launch in 1971.” He also wanted to incorporate transparency into notes that can be seen as dark and end with something that expresses a beauty that is both mystical and enduring.
IRIS NAZARENA takes its name from the rare species Iris Bismarckiana, also known as Iris Nazarena because it grows mainly in the mountains east of Nazareth.
The extraordinary beauty of the flower, with its brown or purple spots and delicate bluish-purple veins, seduced Karl Bradl as soon as he discovered it on a postcard. She became the muse for the second perfume AEDES DE VENUSTAS when it was launched in 2013.
The flower itself does not give off a scent. Most irises do not. Instead, it is the root, or rhizome, that has become revered in perfumery. To transform it into an aromatic material, the flower must grow for three years before being uprooted. It is then left to wither for another three years before it develops its characteristic note, a mix of dust and wood and violet. It is then ground and distilled. Only after this time and a labor-intensive process does the majestic iris come back to life, a journey that reflects the history of the land where Iris Nazarena grows.
The soft suede petals of the mystical iris muse are drawn in a subtle shade of brown, purple and white. Ambrette spreads the tender light of dawn on the top notes, rose adds a touch of floral sensuality and the fresh and vivid green of star anise evokes the flower's stylised stems and leaves. Resinous juniper berries, patchouli and vetiver allude to its roots, driven into dark earth and rock, while the sacred smoke rising from the altars intertwines its mineral and leather-scented tendrils throughout the development with cloves, oud and incense.
Olfactory Notes: Iris, Incense, Ambrette, Juniper Berries, Star Anise, Leather, Oud, Cloves, May Rose, Woods, Musk and Vetiver.
