French house Chopard has launched Iris Malika, the first fragrance in the new Imperiale series.

Chopard Imperiale Iris Malika, the essence of a queen. Iris Malika is the olfactory complement of the Chopard Imperiale Collection, exquisite jewels created for powerful women, who are modern-day empresses. Iris Malika embodies the quintessence of two cultures that blend harmoniously. Mirroring the purple bottle and the amethyst-adorned jewels from the Imperiale Collection, iris, the eternal ingredient of French perfumery, is enveloped in Middle Eastern sensuality.

The fragrance opens with addictive notes of wild berries and warm, mysterious spices. The heart of the perfume unleashes an imperial floral bouquet: the noblest iris concrete enfolded in jasmine and ylang ylang. The base is enriched with opulent balms, spices and woods, ethically sourced from around the world.

Iris Malika was developed by perfumer Dora Baghriche. Additional notes include benzoin and tonka bean.

Chopard Iris Malika is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, $124.
