Encounters by Francesca Bianchi just arrived at Indigo Perfumery

Animalic Iris

Where East meets West.

The fascinating point of contact between different cultures. The place where diversity produces a new language. Iconic materials from East and West - Oudh and Iris - blending into a new mysterious creature.

Main accords: Iris with an Oudh facet. Spicy Woody Oriental
Character: Assertively hedonistic, Opulent, Luxurious, Mysterious,
Indulging in Pleasure

From Francesca: "I wished to render this obsession of mine with Encounters, thanks to a combination of two iconic ingredients from East and West, Iris and Oudh - a moment of contact from whom a new creature originates.

You will find the sophisticated refinement of Iris butter, with its soft and mysterious powderiness; a material which develops in the soil to then generate the most lyric among flowers.

Iris is transformed by Oudh, a material born out of an infection of the Aquilaria trees, which then produces one of the most mesmerising and complex odors in the perfumery range of ingredients."
