Iris Nobile by Acqua di Parma was launched in 2006 and is a creation of perfumers Francis Kurkdjian and Françoise Caron. This fragrance opens with the brightness of citrus notes like bergamot, mandarin orange, and orange, bringing an initial freshness that transitions into a heart rich in floral accords — tuberose, orange blossom, mimosa, ylang-ylang, and hibiscus. The base is warm and enveloping, featuring cedar, vanilla, and amber, creating a scent that is both elegant and comforting.

Application Tips
Apply Iris Nobile in light layers — the initial burst of citrus will fade within two hours, but the floral heart and warm base notes carry through the day. It pairs well with lighter clothing for spring and summer.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.

The story behind the bottle.
The moment when an afternoon in the city shifts to dusk, where the crispness of citrus notes gives way to a soft floral embrace and the warmth of vanilla.
