Iris Malikhân, Maison Crivelli's founding fragrance, stems from a surprising encounter: irises in bloom at the gates of a desert. Cypress, mastic and galbanum open the composition on a green, resinous freshness.
Then the orris blooms, powdery and a little earthy, softened by mimosa, before a leathery vanilla, amber and musks make it irresistibly enveloping. A powdery, gourmand leather to wear in any cool season.

Iris Malikhân in detail
Maison Crivelli, founded by the explorer Thibaud Crivelli, builds each fragrance on the memory of an unexpected encounter with a material. Iris Malikhân, signed by Marc Zini, starts from orris and leads it towards leather: a powdery, green fragrance wrapped in soft vanilla.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. First come green, resinous materials: cypress, mastic, a Mediterranean shrub with an aromatic resin, and galbanum. Then the powdery flowers, orris and mimosa. Vanilla, leather, amber and musk form a soft, slightly animalic base.
Iris Malikhân is worn from autumn to spring, by day or by night: at the office, at a dinner, or every day during the colder months.
Three leather fragrances in our catalogue come close: Cuir Béluga by Guerlain shares leather, amber, musk and vanilla; Italian Leather by Memo Paris finds orris, vanilla and leather again; Crème de Cuir by BDK Parfums pairs vanilla and musk in a creamy leather.
