IRIS

In 1937, Le Galion was a well-established House, allowing Paul Vacher to try out more experimental ideas in his collection. He started to work on the “soliflore” varieties, in which one flower gets the star treatment. A nod to the Art Deco period, which peaked in the 1930s, Paul Vacher sculpted this Iris in a symmetry of mimosa and galbanum, making Le Galion a reference in French perfumery, attentive to the arts and in step with its time.

A word from our perfumer

“A beautifully-balanced iris, neither too powdery nor too earthy. Light as a feather but well and truly present. This is what the iris flower would smell like if a perfumer could extract it.”
