Iris 39

Le Labo Iris 39, launched in 2006 and composed by Frank Voelkl, is a chypre floral that places iris at the forefront, supported by a dense, powdery accord. The listed notes—iris, patchouli, violet, musk, civet, ylang-ylang, ginger, lime, cardamom, and rose—are all presented in the top, suggesting an immediate and complex opening. The drydown leans heavily on powdery, violet, and iris facets, with woody, musky, and patchouli undertones providing depth and longevity. This is not a shy fragrance; the civet and patchouli add a vintage, almost feral quality that collectors of classic chypres will appreciate. It suits those who enjoy bold, retro-inspired compositions with a modern edge, and it performs best in cool weather or evening wear. For collectors, Iris 39 is a distinctive example of Le Labo's early output, before the brand's later minimalist turn.
