La Closerie des Parfums is a French niche perfume house that celebrates the art of olfactory travel with refined and evocative creations. Inspired by Parisian gardens and nurtured by family expertise, it blends tradition and exoticism. Each fragrance combines noble raw materials—such as Centifolia rose or reconstituted oud—with subtle spice accords. Founded by Valérie Madrid, trained at Cinquième Sens, the house composes elegant and sensorial perfumes. True invitations to escape, these creations transform each scent into an enchanting interlude.
An iris shot through with green light. Powdery on the surface, vegetal in depth — a contrast you weren't looking for, and can't let go of.
There are several ways to approach iris in perfumery. It can be treated in its powdery and velvety version — the best known, the most expected. It can be treated in its earthy and cold version — the noblest, the most difficult. La Closerie des Parfums, founded by Valérie Madrid, who trained at Cinquième Sens, chooses a third path with Iris Coriandre: an iris of green light, traversed by the herbaceous and slightly sparkling freshness of coriander, producing an accord that is both powdery and vegetal, elegant and slightly wild, which cannot be easily categorized.
In this Eau de Parfum concentration, the composition opens with a precise and slightly herbaceous freshness. Bergamot and coriander create a luminous and slightly sparkling vivacity — here, coriander is not a culinary spice, it is vegetal, slightly lemony and slightly green, almost like a fresh herb that passes through the air. Iris, violet, and osmanthus then arrive at the heart in a floral accord of great delicacy — iris in its powdery and rooty dimension, violet with its accompanying slight freshness, osmanthus bringing its honeyed and slightly apricot facets. Sandalwood, musk, vanilla, tonka bean, carrot, and amber woods settle in the base with a soft and slightly woody warmth — carrot, a rare note in perfumery with slightly earthy and slightly sweet facets, anchors the iris in something more organic and profound. Iris Coriandre is the iris for those who love tranquil complexity.
Iris Coriandre is the fragrance for those who know that sophistication doesn't need to announce itself — it reveals itself.
Iris Coriandre is the recommended alternative for those who are hesitant with Iris Baie Rose — a more vegetal, more contrasting iris, less immediately seductive but more complex the longer you wear it. The coriander in the opening is key: this herbaceous freshness that prevents the iris from ever seeming conventional. And the carrot in the base is a rare surprise — slightly earthy and slightly sweet, it anchors the powdery aspect in something organic and unexpected.
Iris Coriandre Eau de Parfum by La Closerie des Parfums is an aromatic floral unisex fragrance from the French house founded by Valérie Madrid. It explores iris in its most vegetal and contrasted dimension — herbaceous coriander, powdery iris, floral osmanthus, and rooty carrot in a composition of subtle elegance and remarkable organic depth. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer in Angers, for €54. Free delivery from €100 (in France).
Its olfactory pyramid is structured around a powdery and slightly floral iris-osmanthus-violet heart of great delicacy, preceded by a fresh and slightly herbaceous bergamot-coriander opening, and prolonged by a soft and slightly organic sandalwood-musk-vanilla-tonka bean-carrot-amber woods base. As an Eau de Parfum, the composition unfolds all its powdery vegetal depth and lasts 5 to 7 hours.
Iris Coriandre is a powdery and vegetal aromatic floral fragrance with a noticeable sillage, ideal for everyday wear all year round, worn by both women and men.
Doesn't coriander make the fragrance culinary?
No — and that's the whole point of La Closerie's work. Coriander in perfumery is used for its vegetal and slightly lemony facet, not its culinary leaf version. It brings an herbaceous and slightly sparkling freshness that lightly passes through the opening and quickly evaporates to let the iris take center stage. The result is an iris that seems to come from a garden rather than a bottle — a natural and lively dimension that no other note could produce so effectively.
What is the difference between Iris Coriandre and Iris Baie Rose — La Closerie's two iris fragrances?
Iris Baie Rose is immediately seductive — spicy pink berries, velvety powdery iris, light woody base. It's the accessible iris, Maison Diaphane's favorite. Iris Coriandre is more vegetal and complex — herbaceous coriander, fruity osmanthus, rooty carrot in the base. It takes more time to reveal itself and rewards those who give it that time. One seduces immediately, the other convinces gradually.
What role does carrot play in the base of the composition?
Carrot is one of the rarest and most misunderstood notes in perfumery — its facets are slightly earthy, slightly sweet, and slightly rooty, closer to fresh carrot than cooked carrot. In Iris Coriandre, it reinforces the organic and slightly wild dimension of iris in the base, giving it that grounding that prevents the composition from becoming too abstract or too powdery. It is what gives the fragrance its discreet depth and uniqueness.
What season is Iris Coriandre suitable for?
All year round, with a preference for spring and autumn. The vegetal freshness of coriander makes it particularly suitable for mid-seasons — neither too light for winter, nor too heavy for summer. It's a daily scent, of discreet elegance and moments when you're not trying to impress — just to be yourself.
