Amyris is a wood formerly known as West Indies sandalwood, which draws its name from the Greek amyron, intensely fragrant. it was in rediscovering its scent during exercises with his apprentice that Francis Kurkdjian was inspired to use it. The word itself included iris, which yields the core accord of the fragrance: orris butter a high-quality variety with no rooty-earthy facets and amyris, which teeters between sandalwood and cedar. To make the austere iris smile like an impish Parisienne, the perfumer wraps it in a sweet, plush lemon blossom and leaves accord and dabs it with a powder puff.
