        ‘An indubitably elegant ‘ligne claire’ of iris, chiseled with precision by the powdery and green character of a mimosa and galbanum. Floral details and wooden embellishments are adorned with musk and ambrette to smooth the rough edges. In 1937, Le Galion was a well-established house, allowing Paul Vacher to try out more experimental ideas in his collection. He started to dig into his “soliflore” works, in which one flower gets the star treatment. A nod to the Art Deco period, which peaked in the 1930s, Paul Vacher sculpted this Iris in a symmetry of mimosa and galbanum, making Le Galion a reference in French perfumery, attentive to arts and spirit of the times.’ – Le Galion Parfums
