The iris Pallida at the heart of the perfume N ° 19 Poudré de Chanel

< p> Floral powdery-musky, “N ° 19 Poudré” begins with an association of neroli and mandarin. We notice the first traces of mandarin, about 3,000 years ago in the Middle East, mainly in China, where it is still very popular there. Moreover, the mandarin owes its name to its orange color which echoes that of the silk dresses of the mandarins, the high officials of the Chinese Empire. The first mandarin tree will arrive in France in 1800 and the whole Mediterranean will grow this little winter fruit, little by little. In perfumery, the essence of mandarin is obtained by cold expression of the zest of the fruit. Mandarin gives off tangy, sweet, sweet and zesty tones at the same time. Then, the heart of “N ° 19 Poudré” evolves towards ultra feminine notes, namely those of jasmine, combined with those of iris Pallida. Iris Pallida is one of the noblest, but also the most expensive, ingredients in perfumery. Also called “the blue gold of perfumery”, the Pallida iris offers powdery and flowery scents with slightly musky violet facets. It is the rhizomes of the iris that are exploited. Unfortunately its process is long (about 7 years), and delicate, which explains its price. Iris Pallida is mainly cultivated in Florence (Italy). The base of “N ° 19 Poudré” finally meets the sweetness and smoothness of white musks combined with vetiver and tonka bean.
