My challenge. I created my first personalised
perfume in 1977 for my bride to wear on our
wedding day. It was a white powdery floral
fragrance based on the iris root. Since then,
iris has been one of my obsessions. It is the most
unclassifiable, elegant, beautiful, expensive
ingredient there is. The root must be dried for
three years before its precious essence can be
extracted. But it does not last as much as it costs
and making it last is almost... impossible! |
