Iris powder turning slowly into worn suede; dry cedar and a thread of woodsmoke drifting from the next room. Quiet, scholarly, almost gender-neutral — the scent of someone who reads. The connoisseur’s bottle in the house.
Wears low to the skin — it is not a projection scent — but it lasts the full day, and the dry-down is its own quiet pleasure. Iris pallida is one of the most expensive ingredients in modern perfumery; this is where it goes.
Vellum is the scent for the people who want to be noticed only by the right people.

How to Wear It
Long reading days, museum afternoons, second-date dinners, the hour after the lecture, any time you want to smell like discernment. Best in cool weather — Vellum opens slowly and rewards the wearer who lets it.
