The Creation
Hiris is an ode to femininity and to the splendour of the iris. Created in 1999 by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti, this single-flower fragrance evokes both the goddess Iris, messenger of the gods and Hermss female alter ego, and the exquisite flower. An H has been added to its name in tribute to the first letter of Herms.
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 Object
The bottle, inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages, has a black cap reminiscent of a riding hat. The back label is illustrated with a design by Philippe Dumas, indicating that it belongs to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection.
The Parfums-fondateurs Collection
The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws inspiration from the houses heritage. Each THE CREATION encapsulates Herms imaginary world in a name, a fragrance and a colour. Over the years, Herms has pioneered a bold style of perfumery, resulting from encounters with exceptional perfumers.
From flower to scent, this is the refined and modern intention of Hiris, an utterly original single-flower creation devoted to the splendour 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 natures olfactory marvels with infinite delicacy.
