The Velvet of Light

Iris Poudre is the paradox of excess made weightless.
Pierre Bourdon sculpts an iris that is neither cosmetic nor vintage, but celestial — powdered light suspended in the air.

A meteor shower of Methyl Dihydro Jasmonate, Majantol, and Florol creates a luminous floral canopy, so ethereal it feels like breathing in silk. Iris and Vanillin don’t try to be gourmand: they polish the floral heart into a veloutine shimmer, soft as the sound of a fingertip brushing taffeta.

Then comes the glide:
Helvetolide, Muscenone, Ambrettolide — the musk triad that turns the entire fragrance into skin.
Not perfume on someone.
Perfume becoming someone.

A whisper of Vetiver Oil Haiti and Ambroxan adds contour and bones to this cloud, keeping the silhouette refined, impeccablement Bourdon, impeccablement Malle.

✨ The Result

Iris Poudre is a couture gesture.
A crisp white shirt, starched but undone at the collar.
Airy yet opulent, classic yet unattainably modern —
the fragrance that turns presence into aura.
