Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile Sublime is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012.

This isn't just an iris, it's *the* iris. A scent so flawlessly elegant, it'll make you question all other florals. While some find it a bit too subdued or 'mature', its refined, creamy character has a cult following, delivering sheer sophistication in every spray.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a bright, clean burst of mandarin and neroli, quickly giving way to a heart of lush jasmine sambac and creamy ylang-ylang. The star of the show, iris, emerges gracefully, not as a dusty powder but as a soft, almost 'liquid' floral. A subtle woody base of cedar and birch grounds the composition, adding a touch of understated warmth to this exquisitely tailored floral garden.
