Launched in 2014, Iris Nobile 10th Anniversary Special Edition by Acqua di Parma is a celebration of the brand's legacy and Italian elegance. Created by Francis Kurkdjian and Francoise Caron, this unisex fragrance opens with bright citrus notes like mandarin orange and bergamot, which mingle effortlessly with the powdery sweetness of iris flower. The heart unfolds into a bouquet of yellow florals such as ylang-ylang and mimosa, adding depth and warmth. The base notes of cedar, amber, and vanilla create a rich, enveloping finish that feels both familiar and refined.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance lightly — the bright citrus opening is meant to catch attention first, while the warm base notes slowly unfold over time. It’s best worn in cooler weather when its woody and amber tones can shine without overpowering.

“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.
