I really love iris, so I want a hefty proportion of rooty iris in the middle notes. The inspiration for your suggestion to the maker are all my favorites, therefore they are "classic". Your Holy Grail would no doubt become an instant classic and I would buy it myself. You've done all the research, the "heavy lifting". I would just have to enjoy! Best of luck with your project.

It is made from the whole flower, not just the stigmas. I thought it would be brilliant if your perfumer could get a hold of some for your perfume, it would add another quality.

I had no idea about the issue with Saffron. Thank you very much for that information. I don't know how long it will take, we are hoping to have first "mods" (trials) pretty soon ...as for the final scent...I really don't know, and that's the beauty of this project...it is developing sort of "in real time" in front of our eyes.

I'm so curious about the result, how long do we have to wait? I'm gonna make my own version of it and will compare it and hope to learn something. I'm curious what the perfumer will use for the Saffron note because the absolu and the chemical that is used for the note is restricted by Ifra and can only be used in a real small amount.
