Launched in 2013 and crafted by Alberto Morillas, Iris Prima by Penhaligon's is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that marries the elegance of iris with earthy undertones and subtle leather. The composition opens with bergamot and pink pepper before giving way to a heart of iris and jasmine, grounded by notes of leather, vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla, and amber. This scent embodies both sophistication and warmth, creating a distinctive olfactory experience that is neither too bold nor too understated.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points. The top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so ensure you give it time for the iris and woody base to settle in. This fragrance is particularly suited for cooler evenings when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
