Eau de
Tiffany and Co Eau de Parfum is the house's modern signature scent, and it is built around iris, which is a braver choice than a jeweller's fragrance usually makes.
The opening is all citrus and it is handled cleanly. Mandarin orange is sweet, lemon sharp, bergamot rounder and slightly floral, and together they give perhaps ten minutes of brightness before the fragrance turns cool.
Iris is what it turns into. Iris is an expensive, difficult material: dry, powdery, cool, with something of damp earth and something of pressed linen about it, and it is the opposite of a crowd pleasing note. Here it is softened rather than hidden. Rose adds a gentle floral sweetness, blackcurrant a tart and faintly green bite, and peach a soft fuzz of fruit that keeps the iris from reading as severe.
The base is minimal on purpose. Musk gives a clean, skin close softness and patchouli a thread of earth beneath it, and that is all. The effect is a fragrance that stays quite close to the body and smells more like well kept skin than like perfume, which is exactly the brief such a scent is usually given. Dated 2017, it lasts six to eight hours with modest projection and rewards a generous hand. It reads as feminine, suits daytime and the office as well as the evening, and works all year.
Tiffany and Co opened in 1837 at 259 Broadway in New York, founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young as a seller of stationery and fancy goods before becoming an American jeweller and silversmith. It has published its Blue Book since 1845 and introduced the modern solitaire setting in 1886. The fragrances are a licensed business, separate from the jewellery company, and have been made under a licence with Coty signed in January 2016.
