The Story
Why it exists.
Divine Isis draws its name from the ancient Egyptian goddess revered for wisdom and magic. Perfumer Valerie Demars imagined a scent that mirrors the deity’s duality, luminous clarity and hidden depth. Working within Aimée de Mars’ natural‑only ethos, she blended almond and bergamot for a bright opening, then layered rose, ylang‑ylang and myrrh to echo the goddess’s fragrant temples. The base of iris, vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean grounds the composition, honoring the house’s commitment to botanical purity since its 2015 Paris launch.

The Beginning
Divine Isis draws its name from the ancient Egyptian goddess revered for wisdom and magic. Perfumer Valerie Demars imagined a scent that mirrors the deity’s duality, luminous clarity and hidden depth. Working within Aimée de Mars’ natural‑only ethos, she blended almond and bergamot for a bright opening, then layered rose, ylang‑ylang and myrrh to echo the goddess’s fragrant temples. The base of iris, vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean grounds the composition, honoring the house’s commitment to botanical purity since its 2015 Paris launch.
Almond provides a creamy, nutty sweetness that feels like sunrise on a marble altar, while bergamot adds a crisp, citrus lift reminiscent of desert wind. The heart’s rose and ylang‑ylang bring a lush, golden floral heart, softened by the resinous warmth of myrrh. Iris introduces a powdery elegance, and vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean create a gourmand, amber‑rich veil that lingers like incense in a quiet sanctuary.
The Evolution
At first spray, the almond‑bergamot duo bursts open, bright and slightly sweet, instantly catching attention like a flash of light on a temple column. Within minutes the heart unfolds: rose petals unfurl beside ylang‑ylang’s exotic bloom, while myrrh adds a subtle, smoky resin that deepens the floral core. As the fragrance settles, the iris emerges, lending a soft, powdery silk that cushions the warmth of vanilla and benzoin. Tonka bean slips in later, delivering a creamy, almost caramel‑like finish that steadies the scent. The drydown lingers for six to eight hours, projecting moderately, leaving a gentle, lingering trail that feels both comforting and slightly mysterious, much like the goddess herself.
Cultural Impact
Since its debut, Divine Isis has been praised for its transparent ingredient list and its ability to blend sweet almond with sacred myrrh, earning a niche following among fans of natural, powdery florals. It is often compared to the house’s Mythique Iris, and wearers note its comforting aura in both casual and ceremonial settings.
