Iris & Violet The Body Shop — one of those scents that needs no introduction. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the wood and floral families. Created as part of the Essence collection. The fragrance concentration is oil-based perfume.
Produced in the United Kingdom, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich oil-based perfume composition with a soft opening, high durability, and an intimate 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 & Violet is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of The Body Shop is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Oil-based perfume emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Floral, Wood, Powdery and Amber with each one in a clear role. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a inspiring floral mood: Ambergris, Iris, Patchouli, Vetiver and Violet.
The deeper layers are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Ambery, Floral, Wood and Whiteflower. At family level the scent maps to Floral and Wood.
In summary Iris & Violet reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
