Iris of the Moon was born from a journey of self-discovery.

Iris of the Moon is more than just a fragrance company—she is a celebration of the transformative power of fragrance and a testament to everyone's journey of healing and growth. After surviving a narcissistic relationship that left me at my lowest point, I found solace in the world of fragrance and essential oils. What started as a mere curiosity quickly turned into a passion, as I discovered the depth and meaning behind scent. I immersed myself in the world of perfumery, learning all I could about the art and science of fragrance. My first creation, "Atlantis", was the spark that ignited my love for making fragrance.

Inspiration

Iris of the Moon's name was inspired by the Greek goddess, Iris, and the celestial moon. In Greek mythology, Iris served as a messenger between the gods on Mount Olympus, the underworld, and the mortal realm. The iris flower is also known to symbolize faith. In astrology, the moon symbolizes our connection to our intuition, maternal lineage, and our emotions. When you combine the multi-faceted meanings of "iris" and "moon," Iris of the Moon can be roughly translated as "messages from our intuition" or "faith in our intuition." Our hope is that Iris of the Moon serves as a source of self-empowerment and self-discovery for the modern mystic.
