Vetiver & Iris

Vetiver & Iris

100 Bon
Year: 2021
Country: France
Perfumer: Céline Ellena

The Atelier Ellena summons the memory of a lost love. A passion for opposites staged by the alliance of the roots of Vetiver and Iris to remain still and always under the spell. “I brushed against the roots of love. Since then, my memory has cultivated the remnants of that enchantment and lost attachment. Until, distraught, I felt the need to tell my ephemeral story by offering it the permanence of scents. This perfume evokes in a whisper, in turn, the melody of happiness and the serenity of nostalgia, the desire for light and the comfort of shadow. It is a perfume that tells the story of our sensual and amorous lives. Without regrets or pretense. With passion and materials. I love the grainy bitterness of Vetiver essence and the velvety softness of Iris butter punctuated by warm and cold spices. Root materials, ethereal materials, anchored or sensitive, which express so well our appetite for happiness and our dreams of soaring... to be still and often, under the Spell.” Céline Ellena

Vetiver is one of those notes I love to wrap myself in. Although it leans slightly toward the masculine side of perfumery, it also carries a distinctive cool refinement, bringing a sense of relaxation, quiet, and calm. A moment to breathe. The same is true of this composition. It opens with soothing, slightly masculine vetiver, beautifully mellowed by powdery iris. As the fragrance unfolds, the iris gradually becomes more prominent, making the composition softer and more feminine. Throughout its evolution, it retains an elegant, serene, and beautifully balanced character that speaks of thoughtful craftsmanship. Longevity and sillage are both clearly perceptible, yet never domineering.
