Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of Iris and Lavender evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The signature of Yardley is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

Right at the start you detect invigorating sunny opening notes: Citrus accord and Pink pepper. Exactly these 2 notes form a burst of citrus freshness that anchors the first impression immediately.

In the middle phase you detect Iris, Lavender and ylang-ylang holding a harmonious floral direction.

The accord profile is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Wood with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Powdery, Leather and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background.

At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Floral and Green. It also reaches into Whiteflower, Leather, Wood and Aromatic.

Overall Iris and Lavender sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)
5
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Unexpected. I thought I'd smell lavender and iris, but in reality, ylang-ylang is distinctly noticeable. The fragrance turns out sweeter and softer. By the way, it smells very natural, as if straight from nature

On various perfume forums, this fragrance is indeed well-known, as is its version with lavender. I decided to try both options. Iris and lavender, undoubtedly, sound softer and more feminine. For myself, I realized that I don't perceive the scent of iris in perfumery; for me, it rather resembles something powdery-aquatic with green notes. And here, an atmosphere is created around ylang-ylang, but not in the usual sweet key, but with delicate greenery 🌿

Your fragrance is really different. Lavender and Iris with Lavender are different things. Lavender on its own, yes, I agree, isn't that easy to wear, it sounds a bit heavy, not necessarily masculine, but somehow too loud. I use it as a room spray, to spritz linen in the closet, and in other situations too. But Iris with Lavender is a completely different story, a very beautiful fragrance, Iris is also, by the way, my favorite 🌸

In this fragrance, it's just English lavender, and nothing else. Vintage, but essentially, it's completely ordinary. Lavender and that's it. Why would I use it as a sedative?))) Just a regular smell, though the packaging is nice, of course... such a typical English style 😒
