Mineral powderiness, dark floral notes, and the complexity of aged wines shape this enigmatic fragrance. Iris Tannat unites the tannic structure of the Basque Tannat grape with the richness of Bavarian soils and the nobility of Burgundian oak. At the heart is a maximum dose of Danner & Fleming’s Bavarian iris pallida. Its velvety powder unfolds over deep, earthy facets, enriched by the warmth of aged wine barrels, the tough chic of leather, and the sweetness of
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A deliberate presence for an evening spent in close conversation, where powdery iris can soften the severity of leather and dark wine. Its mineral, tannic character suggests worn tailoring rather than polished formality: tactile, slightly austere and more compelling at close quarters than as a bright social gesture.
How to wear
Start with one spray on the torso and assess before adding more; this concentrated, forceful profile calls for restraint in shared spaces. Cool weather should give its powder, leather and oak room to unfold, while warmth may make the spicy, wine-dark richness feel more insistent.
Who it’s for
For iris enthusiasts who prefer earthy roots and mineral powder to cosmetic sweetness, and leather lovers drawn to tannic, wine-like complexity. Its old-school structure and uncompromising density will appeal most to those comfortable with assertive, unconventional compositions.

The nose
Antoine Lie is known for bold contrasts, unconventional textures and a willingness to push familiar materials into unfamiliar territory. His work includes the uncompromising leather-incense composition Rien and the provocative Sécrétions Magnifiques for Etat Libre d’Orange. In Iris Tannat, his approach meets a raw-material-led brief, setting Bavarian iris against wine, oak and leather.
Collaborators
Marcel Flemming helped shape the wine-inspired concept and developed the fragrance with Antoine Lie and L’Atelier Français des Matières through numerous iterations over approximately a year.
Danner & Flemming’s story
Danner & Flemming builds its fragrances around iris cultivated and processed in Bavaria, allowing the character of the harvest to guide the composition rather than treating orris as a decorative accent. Its millésime approach connects perfume to agriculture and wine: production follows the available crop, and each harvest has its own identity.
Iris Tannat’s concept
The idea emerged during Marcel Flemming’s travels in the French Basque Country with Theresa Höß. Tannat, the wine grape, supplied the conceptual thread: dark tannins, rocky vineyard landscapes and oak-barrel maturation. Part of Les Assemblages, the fragrance blends two Bavarian iris materials, applying the logic of wine blending to build depth and complexity.
Extra info
Tannat names a wine grape, not an iris variety. The composition combines Bavarian Iris pallida butter with Iris germanica extract, reflecting the blending principle behind Les Assemblages. The house’s signature packaging includes an iris rhizome fragment and a vial of pure iris essence.
