Gris Mood – Perfume Extract | Smoky Iris on Silk

Some perfumes are clothed in light. Others are born in gray.

Gris Mood is an exploration of the iris not as a flower, but as an idea.

It's not sweet powder, it's not retro makeup.

It is mist , tanned leather , cold marble under a rain of incense .

The opening is deceptive. Exploding jasmine sambac —animal, green—with flashes of violet , a barely perceptible touch of honey , and a note of E that both unsettles and calms.

Then the heart comes in. And here the flower ceases to be a flower.

Damask rose, grandiflorum jasmine, magnolia, mimosa and osmanthus blend together, intertwine, but they do not shine on their own: they shine through the iris.

Iris butter is silk. Iris resinoid , on the other hand, is noble clay. Powdered cocoa. Gray leather. A natural fixative that supports and beautifies every phase.

The structure becomes carnal with the arrival of Kashmir musk , vintage castor tincture and that final touch of civet , which does not dirty: it humanizes.

But it is the smoke that gives soul to the perfume.

Frankincense and myrrh , distilled at home with devotion. They create the gray atmosphere, the aromatic mist that turns this composition into an experience more than a perfume.

Mood Grey isn't about standing out. It's about disappearing in style.

To leave a trail of warm shadow, like wet leather under dried flowers.

For those who are not afraid of smelling of mystery.
