Iroise Notes from the Seed Vault is a unisex fragrance released in 2025 by the Swiss brand Iroise.
The composition is presented as an eau de parfum and is intended for those who appreciate unusual natural motifs, modern minimalism and fragrances beyond strict gender divisions.
The name Notes from the Seed Vault can be read as a poetic reference to a seed repository — a place where the diversity of the plant world is preserved.
This idea echoes the stated notes: amaranth, ambrette, carrot seeds and cotton appear in the composition. Together, they create an impression with a green, spicy and softly woody character.
In terms of its fragrance groups, the scent belongs to green, spicy and woody compositions, while its family classification identifies it as fougère and woody.
This combination suggests not the literal “greenery” of a single plant, but a more dimensional impression in which a fresh vegetal nuance meets dry spiciness and a calm woody texture.
Amaranth adds a distinctive woody accent to the composition, ambrette softens it with a musky-green nuance, while carrot seeds support its spicy, slightly earthy facet.
Cotton, in turn, evokes cleanliness and airy softness. It is important to note that the exact distribution of notes across the top, heart and base phases has not been disclosed for this release.
Notes from the Seed Vault is positioned as a fragrance with very strong sillage.
It is therefore especially appealing to those who enjoy noticeable compositions with a pronounced presence and want their perfume to linger in the air after they leave.
Its unisex character makes it versatile when choosing a look: it can smell different depending on the skin, weather and amount applied.
At the same time, no precise recommendations for application to skin or clothing are available, so it is best to determine the optimal amount individually, starting with a small application.
Iroise is a Swiss perfume brand creating unisex fragrances in eau de parfum concentration.
Notes from the Seed Vault continues this idea through its gender-neutral presentation and a composition built around unusual vegetal, spicy and woody associations.
No information has been provided about the perfumer, collection or other concentrations of this fragrance.
Notes from the Seed Vault is therefore best viewed as an independent release whose main highlights are its unconventional selection of notes, very strong sillage and expressive natural imagery.
