The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010 by Narciso Rodriguez, Essence Iridescent is a Floral fragrance crafted by the renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas. The composition opens with an iridescent blend of iris and rose, creating a luminous floral bouquet that dances on the skin. As it evolves, powdery notes and subtle violet add warmth and depth, while earthy undertones ground the scent in a sophisticated elegance.
Two sprays on your pulse points are enough for Essence Iridescent. The powdery and floral notes bloom over time, so it’s best applied just before you leave home. Avoid heavy application as the scent reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.
