The craft

The craft of the Grasse region

For three centuries, the Grasse region has composed the art of perfume. Our creations are born in its workshops, between chosen materials, balanced notes and a patient hand.

Cradle of French perfumery

In the heart of Provence, the Grasse region turned the flower into a trade: rose, jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom. The skills and know-how linked to perfume there are recognised on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Maison Iris belongs to that lineage, with a contemporary eye.

Three gestures, one same care

01

The materials

We choose perfumery raw materials for their accuracy and staying power, before thinking about the shape of the product. For our candles, we use natural soy wax.

02

The composition

Every olfactive signature starts from a real memory — a wood fire in Biot, a Riviera garden — that the perfumer translates into an accord.

03

The gesture

Natural soy wax candles, poured and finished by hand, diffusers and room sprays assembled in small batches: workshop work, without haste.

“A fragrance is composed like a story: with time.”
