Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Francis Kurkdjian and Françoise Caron. Iris Nobile opens with Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin, and Iris, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Orange Blossom, Cedar, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. Acqua di Parma's Iris Nobile carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A truly noble iris-led floral, Iris Nobile is a complex, elegant, and often polarising scent. It can sometimes lean a little mature, but it is undeniably high-quality and worth seeking out if you crave a bold, distinctive floral with a vintage touch.

About

Iris Nobile opens with a zesty burst of citrus - mandarin and bergamot - quickly softened by a delicate star anise, leading into the heart of the fragrance. Here, a creamy, powdery iris takes centre stage, beautifully interwoven with rich white florals like tuberose and orange blossom, alongside the honeyed nuance of mimosa. The dry down settles into a warm, sensual embrace of amber and vanilla, grounding the opulent florals with a quietly sophisticated sweetness.
