CREATION
Hiris is an ode to femininity and to the splendor of the iris. Created in 1999 by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti, this single-flower fragrance evokes both the goddess Iris, messenger of the gods and Hermès's female alter ego, and the exquisite flower. An H has been added to its name in tribute to the first letter of Hermès.
OLFACTORY NOTES
Hiris eau de toilette is a poetic composition that delicately expresses the charm of the iris in all its floral, powdery and botanical glory.

The story behind
From flower to scent, this is the refined and modern intention of Hiris, an utterly original single-flower creation devoted to the splendor of the iris and dedicated to women. A fragrance of emotion and subtlety conceived by Olivia Giacobetti, it is a novel that expresses the shifting charms – sometimes floral, sometimes powdery or vegetal – of one of nature’s olfactory marvels with infinite delicacy.
The Founders bear witness to the initial encounters between the house of Hermes and fragrance. They tell the story of the living heritage of Hermes, its references and secrets... These fragrances are timeless, yet never less than contemporary.
