Terroir Parfum of Kleinood Farm by de Boerin
On Kleinood Farm we have always put terroir first in the wine we make. So too, it is ever present in our olive oil, verjus and honey. Why then, if one could taste terroir, could one not wear it and smell it and smell of it?
The humble irises thrive in the most unexpected spots. For most of the year they are hardly noticed and ask very little. Then, but a hint of spring, those magnificent blooms magically appear in ones and twos and clouds of deep dark purples and misty pinks and bright blues to rusty browns and even vibrant golds.
Their grace and scent is incomparable.
They deserve to tell their own story…
furtively
from
greenish blades
the stem emerges
bearing tightly
guarded buds
now waking
from a deep
and dreamless sleep
to quietly unfold
and thus reveal
with peerless
elegance and grace
a bejewelled spectacle
of gossamer
and shameless
sensuality
Notes:
A terroir driven perfume inspired and composed around the natural qualities and attributes of Kleinood Farm.
It was created from only pure and unmodified essential oils of orris, omumbiri, vetiver, oak-moss and cape chamomile.
This interpretation of iris has stature and grace with a distinct but almost fleeting softness.
The opening confirms a sensual elegance with subtle powdery notes of iris, magnolia, lavender and violet.
Scents of green twigs supported by delicate waxy aroma evolve into a slightly bitter woody fragrance.
The drying down develops into a mellow slightly sweet floral bouquet with hints of tobacco and hay celebrating the distinct grace and sophistication of the iris.
