Aedes de Venustas - Iris Nazarena – Eau de Parfum

Aedes de Venustas IRIS NAZARENA Eau de Parfum

The Majestic Power of Iris

IRIS NAZARENA by Aedes de Venustas is a tribute to one of perfumery’s most noble and enigmatic ingredients: iris. Inspired by the rare Iris Bismarckiana, also called Iris Nazarena, which grows east of Nazareth, this fragrance captures the dignity and mystique of a flower whose rhizome is more precious than gold. Only after six years does the root develop its unmistakable aroma – a symbol of patience, depth and transformation. Perfumer Ralf Schwieger crafted a modern, avant-garde interpretation that transcends classical iris perfumes. Instead of cold detachment, this composition offers transparency, warmth and mysterious depth.

An Olfactory Painting of Light and Shadow

The fragrance opens with the cool clarity of ambrette seeds and the green brightness of star anise. A May rose adds floral sensuality, while incense rises like a subtle smoke thread from the very beginning. At its heart, the iris reveals its powdery, leathery elegance, enriched by the spice of clove and the resinous tones of juniper berry. Leather and oudbring smoky texture, blending seamlessly with the earthy depth of vetiver and patchouli. The result is an olfactory canvas painted in shades of brown, purple and grey – grounded yet transparent, luminous yet mysterious.

Incense as a Guiding Thread

Incense – venerated for millennia as a gift to the gods – runs like a sacred thread through IRIS NAZARENA. It recalls the very origin of perfume, per fumum, “through smoke.” This ancient depth merges here with modern artistry: a fragrance that is both spiritual and sensual, grounding and elevating. The flacon embodies this duality – peacock blue, ribbed, crowned with a matte black cap. A collector’s piece radiating both elegance and strength.

IRIS NAZARENA by Aedes de Venustas is more than a perfume – it is a story of earth and sky, roots and smoke, past and present. A fragrance for connoisseurs who seek not only the powdery nobility of iris, but its mystical, almost spiritual depth. Discover the timeless aura of IRIS NAZARENA now at scent amor.
