Notes Pyramid
The story behind the bottle.
Para-iso by Nomenclature was launched in 2018, crafted by perfumer Frank Voelkl, and it stands as an elegant blend of green and fruity notes that are balanced against a warm woody base. The fragrance opens with a crisp, fresh green accord that is immediately lifted by sweet, juicy fruits, creating a vibrant contrast. At its heart, Para-iso features a delicate white floral note that adds a touch of elegance, while the powdery iris provides an earthy warmth that grounds the composition.
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points — this fragrance blooms gradually over time. The green and fruity top notes are most noticeable in the first hour, but the woody base will linger for hours, making it ideal for daytime wear.
