Iris Silver Mist Serge Lutens, created in 1994, sits firmly in the category of a unisex fragrance, drawing from the wood, musk, and floral families. Behind this scent stand Serge Lutens and Maurice Roucel. Created within the Flacons de Table collection and available in eau de parfum.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. It's a light presence — longevity is low, perfect for those who love something airy. Brand country — France, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Iris Silver Mist Serge Lutens unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Iris Silver Mist is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Serge Lutens comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
In a unified mixed pyramid the fragrance opens as a single chord with a noble cedar mood: Ambergris, Benzoin, Cedar, Clove, Frankincense, Galbanum and Iris.
The inner phases are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Balsamic, Gourmet, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Powdery, Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration Low indicates a stable lasting impression.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Ambery, Balsamic, Wood and Spicy. The framework further includes Green, Floral, Musk and Whiteflower.
Overall Iris Silver Mist reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.
