Iris Tannat

A surprisingly dark and mysterious interpretation of iris.

With Iris Tannat, Danner & Flemming reveal a completely different side of iris. A distinctive composition in which refined powderiness and mineral freshness blend with dark wood, suede and the rich nuances of aged wine.

For the first time, the house brings together two exceptional iris varieties from its own Bavarian fields. Iris pallida provides an elegant, mineral and velvety powderiness, while Iris germanica adds deeper, woodier and subtly fruity accents. Together, they form the distinctive heart of Iris Tannat.

Surrounding the iris unfolds a surprisingly dark interplay of wine lees    (the natural sediment in wine), oak and patchouli. Smoky nuances, a touch of leather and warm woody notes give the composition an earthy, almost smoky character, with a subtle nod to the world of aged wines.

The result is a fascinating balance between soft and powerful, refined and earthy. Not a classic, sweet iris, but a distinctive and contemporary fragrance with a dark, elegant signature.

Unconventional, layered and exceptionally refined.
