The story behind the bottle.
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.
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.
