Iris & powdery, 2007: Prada starch

Choose Iris & powdery by the note, not by the bottle photo. “Prada starch” in 2007 titles that note, and 2007 is strength or time. Shop lighting is not lasting power. Read Iris Silver Mist as dose and geometry, not a mood board — that is how Iris & powdery is argued.

Cool months. Heat turns powder into glue. Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter. IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet.

Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose. No. This atlas is cultural and editorial. Fragrance can irritate; oakmoss, eugenol, citrus oils and musks are common triggers. See a clinician for reactions. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment or safety sheet.

Iris & powdery did not arrive as one bottle. The timeline below keeps Grasse, Guerlain, Chanel, Nahéma and IFRA as proper names, not metaphors. Read the years as a map of trade and reformulation, not as a ranking of beauty. Iris pallida rhizomes around Florence become a European powder trade.

On the blotter, keep 2007, “Prada starch,” and 2007. Without them Iris & powdery blurs.2007
