A vigorous interpretation of orris, crafted without relying on synthetic ionones. Instead, it uses rich, high-grade natural orris butter and other genuine iris ingredients. The result is a raw, velvety blend with a white chocolate growl, a honeyed peach, and a true waxy orris core. Its opening carries a boozy, oak-aged whiskey nuance, smoky and softly resinous.
The starting point for Iris Sura was the tale of a 19th-century female whiskey maker forbidden by patriarchal ways to drink her own creations in public saloons. Her husband honoured her by creating a bespoke tipple that inspired this perfume.
Ingredients include:
Orris Root Tincture (2024)
Vanilla tincture (2022-24)
Orris Butter 15% Irone
ORRIS RES ABS firmenich
ORRISCIENCE 8 IRONE
Kinam CO2
Oakwood extract from Robertet
Cocoa absolute from Robertet
White Oud Indonesia
Peach Natural – Hermitage
1960 Mysore Sandalwood Oil Government Factory
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An after-hours conversation that stretches long enough for a small whiskey pour to warm in the glass. Waxy iris and honeyed peach bring softness, while smoky oak and savory woods keep the mood deliberate and slightly austere. This is plushness with a rough edge, suited to unhurried company rather than a crowded room.
How to wear
Cool weather gives the creamy orris, cocoa and oakwood room to unfold without making their richness feel heavy. Start with one spray on the torso and assess before adding more; the dense extrait profile calls for restraint in close quarters. Warmer skin may bring its boozy sweetness forward.
Who it’s for
For iris lovers who prefer waxy root texture to cosmetic polish, and who enjoy gourmand suggestions without straightforward dessert sweetness. Its peach, cocoa and creamy facets meet oud, oak and savory woods, appealing to tastes that favor dense, unconventional compositions.

The nose
Ashek Zubayer is Byermia’s self-taught perfumer, responsible for its creative work and material sourcing. His approach combines vintage fragrance aesthetics with richly textured materials. Iris Sura expresses that approach through natural orris preparations, oakwood and vanilla tinctures, building an iris composition around waxy richness rather than a conventional lipstick effect.
Byermia’s story
Byermia is a Sydney-based family house owned and operated by Zannat Lamia. Its philosophy centers on handcrafted fragrances, rare materials sourced internationally, and vintage sensibilities interpreted through modern compositions. Natural ingredients are a particular interest, but the house does not restrict itself to entirely natural perfumery.
Iris Sura’s concept
Iris Sura draws on an inspiration tale set in the late nineteenth century: Elena helps her husband make whiskey but is excluded from the saloons they supply, so he creates an iris-infused whiskey for her. This narrative, rather than a documented historical episode, frames the perfume’s meeting of waxy orris, oak-aged spirit nuances and creamy sweetness.
Extra info
Iris Sura is offered as a limited bespoke release. Its unusually detailed ingredient list distinguishes a 2024 orris-root tincture from vanilla tinctures dated 2022–24, and specifies orris butter with 15% irone—putting the materials themselves at the center of its identity.
