Launched in 2015, Iri-del by Nomenclature is a unisex aromatic fragrance crafted by perfumer Patricia Choux. The composition opens with iris and aldehydes, creating an immediate sense of sophistication and depth. As the scent develops, bergamot introduces a fresh, citrusy note that contrasts beautifully with the earthy undertones provided by ambrette and woody accords. This interplay between crisp freshness and rich complexity is what defines Iri-del, making it a nuanced choice for those who appreciate subtlety.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays for a balanced effect — the aldehydic top notes are bright but fade quickly, while the woody and musky base notes offer lasting comfort. Best suited for an office environment or evening wear, where its nuanced character shines.
