THE CREATION
Hiris is an ode to femininity and to the splendour of the iris. Created in 1999 by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti, this single-flower fragrance evokes both the goddess Iris, messenger of the gods and Hermès’s female alter ego, and the exquisite flower. An H has been added to its name in tribute to the first letter of Hermès.
OLFACTORY NOTES
Hiris eau de toilette is a poetic composition that delicately expresses the charm of the iris in all its floral, powdery and botanical glory.
THE OBJECT
The bottle, inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages, has a black cap reminiscent of a riding hat. The back label is illustrated with a design by Philippe Dumas, indicating that it belongs to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection.
THE PARFUMS-FONDATEURS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws inspiration from the house’s heritage. Each creation encapsulates Hermès’ imaginary world in a name, a fragrance and a colour. Over the years, Hermès has pioneered a bold style of perfumery, resulting from encounters with exceptional perfumers.
