19th-century perfumery style meets modern performance specs. Refined, austere iris root is twinned here with the heritage smell of violet, conjuring Gilded Age romance. The citrusy spice of coriander and the apricot pulse of osmanthus flower subtly updates the composition, adding a contemporary edge.
Perfumer: Laure-Emmanuelle Hermay
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A pressed shirt beneath a worn leather jacket captures its register: composed, slightly austere, but not distant. The powdery iris suggests formality; coriander and apricot-toned osmanthus loosen it, lending quiet sensuality to an evening spent in close conversation.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the citrus-spice opening and powdery heart can share the foreground. Start with one or two sprays on the torso or forearms for a restrained presence; in warmer conditions, apply lightly so the softer, sweeter base does not dominate.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to rooty iris, violet powder and the composed feel of vintage perfumery, but who want something less strictly nostalgic. Coriander's savory brightness and osmanthus's apricot-leather nuance offer a counterpoint to the soft floral heart.

The nose
Laure-Emmanuelle Hermay, a perfumer at Payan Bertrand, composed Iris Coriandre. Here, her composition explores contrasting textures: airy coriander against powdery iris, with osmanthus absolute adding a velvety apricot nuance.
La Closerie’s story
La Closerie des Parfums builds its fragrances around encounters between precious perfumery materials and spices from around the world. Its identity combines French garden imagery with a spirit of travel, seeking pairings that reveal unexpected facets of familiar ingredients.
Iris Coriandre’s concept
Iris Coriandre was conceived around the contrast between fresh, airy coriander and a softer iris heart, joined by the velvety apricot character of osmanthus absolute. Its iris-and-violet accord evokes an older perfumery vocabulary, while citrus and spice give that powdery formality a contemporary counterpoint.
Extra info
The official note pyramid includes carrot in the base alongside sandalwood, musk, vanilla, tonka bean and amberwood—an unusual detail beneath the fragrance's iris-and-spice pairing.
