Maison Crivelli Iris Malikhân
Green iris, powder, vanilla, leather
Iris Malikhân begins with a discovery: iris fields in bloom on the edge of a desert. Maison Crivelli sets verdant, powdery iris against vanilla and leather, an accord the house calls intoxicating and addictive. It is an Eau de Parfum at 20% concentration, created with perfumer Marc Zini.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Green edges, dry air
Cypress essential oil, lentisque essential oil and galbanum absolute make up the green, resinous side. The brand speaks of verdant iris, and these materials give the scent its crisp, almost dusty greenness, like plants at the edge of dry ground.
-
Powder and soft blossom
Orris butter is the powdery heart of the idea, smooth and a little cool. Mimosa absolute adds a soft, warm floral note beside it, so the iris feels cushioned rather than severe and the green edges are rounded off. It is the softest part of the scent.
-
The addictive accord
Vanilla and leather accord are the pairing the brand calls intoxicating and addictive: sweet and dark in the same breath. Amber and musks gather it into a warm, skin-close finish, so the powder, the sweetness and the leather end up as one soft thing.
Wearing it
When, who and why
In practice
At 20% this is an Eau de Parfum with real body, so one or two sprays on the neck and chest are a full application. It is calm enough for the office and soft enough for an evening, and it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room.
Who it is meant for
Anyone who likes iris in its powdery, grown-up form but wants more warmth than the flower offers alone, and anyone who enjoys vanilla with leather rather than with sugar. A good option for spring and autumn, for the office and for evenings that call for something soft.
Why choose Maison Crivelli Iris Malikhân
It belongs to the Expériences Olfactives, the brand's eaux de parfum, so it sits at a lighter concentration than the extraits and suits everyday wear. Nine key raw materials are listed, from cypress and galbanum to musks, so the scent can be followed note by note.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does powdery gourmand leather mean?
It is the brand's own family name: iris gives the powder, vanilla the gourmand sweetness, and a leather accord the dark, supple side.
Is it an Eau de Parfum or an Extrait?
An Eau de Parfum at 20%. That is lighter than the brand's extraits at 30 to 32%, but still concentrated enough that a couple of sprays will do.
Is it sweet?
There is vanilla, and the brand calls the vanilla and leather pairing addictive, but the green of cypress and galbanum and the powder of the iris keep it from turning sugary.
When does it fit best?
Spring and autumn are its natural seasons, and it works for the office as well as for dinners. The soft, powdery character keeps it comfortable in everyday settings.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
