Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Prima EDP
This Penhaligon's gem divides the crowd: one third rave about its unique blend of clean iris and soft leather, evoking ballet studios and vintage glamour. The rest, however, find it far too subtle, disappearing within minutes, or too simple a leather-citrus mix. Not for those who want to announce their presence, but a refined choice for personal enjoyment.

Our Verdict - Le Parfum EDP
A well-rounded fragrance blending floral and woody notes for a modern yet classic appeal.

Iris Prima

Seasons

Best For:
