Career and creations
Marc Zini created Iris Malikhân, the founding creation of Maison Crivelli. As with every fragrance from the house, it all starts with a memory of its founder, Thibaud Crivelli: a walk on the edge of the desert, among irises touched by the glow of the setting sun. The name combines "Malik", prince in Arabic, and "Khân", a title borne by Central Asian emperors.
The fragrance rests on a contrast the house calls surprising: a green, powdery orris against a heady, leathery vanilla. Orris butter lies at its heart, a woody, floral and deliciously powdery note. At the top, mastic essential oil, from the resin of the mastic tree, reinforces the green freshness of cypress and galbanum; mimosa absolute extends the orris with a honeyed, hay-like facet. Vanilla, a leather accord, amber and musks make up the base.
