{"title":"Tamarind Perfume","description":"\u003cp\u003eTamarind is a rare and sophisticated ingredient in perfumery — a tart, fruity note derived from the pulp of the tamarind pod, native to tropical Africa and now cultivated across Asia and the Caribbean. It brings a distinctive character: simultaneously sweet and sour, with subtle woody and slightly spiced undertones that feel both bright and grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike more familiar fruit notes, tamarind perfume carries an inherent complexity. It reads neither as candy nor as fresh citrus, but rather as something deeper — a warm, slightly dried-fruit quality with hints of caramel and leather. This makes it an excellent bridge between fruity and woody compositions, adding texture without sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamarind fragrances tend toward the intriguing and unconventional, often paired with warm spices, amber, or soft musks to emphasise their subtle tannic character. The result is a sophisticated, somewhat mysterious fragrance that rewards close attention and evolves throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"essential-parfums-velvet-iris-eau-de-parfum","title":"Essential Parfums Velvet Iris Eau de Parfum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDry Woods (Fresh Green)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTurmeric Leaf, Pink Pepper, Buchu Leaf, Iris Concrete, Galbanum Resinoid, Lentiscus, Saffiano (IFF) Leather-Suede Accord, Labdanum Resin, Creamy Woods, Sandalwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcentration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEau de Parfum (17%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot a feather-light iris, but one with heft, weight, and body.

Galbanum, a fairly resinous green note works very well as a top note with iris. Lentisque also builds on this green note, but will be a little more vegetal than galbanum and will continue in the heart note. Turmeric adds a spicy top note [and] buchu will add a fairly lively fruity top note at the start, and then a base note that will be woody, a little leathery notably with labdanum - giving a sensual base note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf I had to define Velvet Iris in three words, I'd say: velvety, carnal, and majestic. You have to come up with something very signature, where the iris note is very present, but at the same time stands out from everything that's been done in the past. The way I've treated the velvety side of Velvet Iris ... gives the composition a leathery yet gentle effect\" (Dominique Ropion)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essential Parfums","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":46718140088472,"sku":"3760393040546","price":209.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ml Sample","offer_id":46718140121240,"sku":"ESSENTIAL-SAMPLE-12","price":6.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4492\/1496\/files\/essentialparfums_velvetiris_bottle_1.jpg?v=1750387551"}],"url":"https:\/\/noahgrooming.co.nz\/collections\/tamarind-perfume.oembed","provider":"NOAH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
